10 Reasons Why Tayo Ricci is One of the Internet's Biggest Stars

Australian hunk Tayo Ricci is an online celebrity sensation who epitomizes the term "internet famous." With over 7 million followers on TikTok, the 26-year-old muscleman checks all the boxes when it comes to engaging content. He's got the looks, the talent for self-promotion and just the right amount of outrageousness that taps into the mother lode of algorithmic riches. He is what most aspiring influencers strive for.

Ricci is probably most famous for his shirtless guerrilla street interviews with what appear to be random people – mostly sexy women – asking them funny questions like "Do you think I'm a ten" or "Would you date me?" All while doing his famous rock out tongue gesture and exposing his impeccable iliac furrows to the public. If you don't know what those are, keep reading.

But Ricci is also a respectable hiphop artist with a few hits under his belt. Songs such as "Party Girls" and "Strawberries on Ice" are great examples of his burgeoning talent. And for those who want to know what else is under his belt, they only need to subscribe to his OnlyFans which currently has over half-a-million subscribers.
Since we can't show you pictures from that account, allow us to explore some of Ricci's thirsty pics from his social media history.

When Ricci isn't asking random people on the street to guess his age, he seems to enjoy being philosophical in or near water. He captions this post using swimming as an analogy for hiding behind emotional clutter. He contends that letting go of it will bring you happiness. At least that's what we think he means.

You can't blame the guy to the right for misunderstanding what Ricci means by "pound" in this video. Although to be fair, Ricci doesn't make it clear until the end either. But it seems that both are eager to bump something even if it is just their fists in this thirsty video. Although he has never specified his orientation, Ricci is seemingly straight. In September of 2023 he married ex-soap star Scarlet Vas who appears in a lot of his videos as a mark. Additionally, the two generated controversy when they claimed to be step-siblings. It grew even more weird when Ricci claimed they have the same mother.

In this series of pics we get Ricci doing his best modeling impression. With millions of followers on TikTok any brand would be happy to do a collab. It also appears that the influencer is bringing back the Caesar haircut made famous by George Clooney and Michael Terry Weiss in the 2000s. He captioned this photo simply, "BOSS" which may seem like a flex, but when you have as many fans as he does, it's undeniably true.

"ONE word when you look into my eyes. WHAT is it?" Ricci asks in this cache of photos on Instagram. He is probably wanting a more profound answer than water or hair so we will leave it to his fans to tell him. "I'm gonna call you Medusa. I look at your eyes, and get hard," says one. Another simply just says "daddy" which seems accurate but also confusing. Either way, Ricci looks great in his post-swim wet look and as a bonus we get his signature "ether lick" in one photo.

Another poolside photo, but this time with Eduard Martirosyan, or, as he is nicknamed, "Pretty Russian God" on OnlyFans. The two have appeared in videos together in what TikTok calls a "live battle" in which viewers send gifts to their favorite live contestant in an effort to have them win. Unfortunately, when they did this back in August of 2022, before this photo was taken, Eduard won by a 20k lead. Hopefully there were no hard feelings.
