Finally, the IRL version of Thor we've all been waiting for.

Lasse Matberg is a sports officer, athlete and lieutenant in the Royal Norwegian Navy — an impressive résumé, to be sure. But he also has a man bun and a cool Pomeranian, which is why, we're guessing, he's breakin' hearts across the Internet.

To be a successful Instagram heartthrob, one needs a varied portfolio. Luckily, Matberg's array of beach shots, goofy selfies and photos with animals more than fit the bill.

Despite his 177,000 Instagram followers, Matberg also seems pretty chill. He isn't even afraid to pick a hair out of his mouth during a photo shoot. How novel!

Mashable has reached out to Matberg for comment.
