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

Remember when we used the term iliac furrows in the intro? If you don't know what they are, here is a perfect display. Often called the V-line (or another explicit term), these are the muscles that lead from your torso to your pelvic region. Here Ricci shows off these grand canyons draped in denim. In this set he poses the question: "Be honest... jacket on or off?" In our opinion, there can only be one answer.

Here is one of Ricci's early pictures. He is visiting the Los Angeles Zoo in 2021. Considering that he only started his career on TikTok approximately a year before this picture was taken and the speed of which he gained followers, this just shows the power of his appeal. Fun fact: Back in 2021, Ricci, using the name Astro, actually appeared in one of Davey Wavey's YouTube videos as a straight man testing sex toys.

Here is another one from the early days of Ricci's social media journey back when he was still in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia. It's included here because one, we love to see him before he became an internet sensation, and two, the dog he is holding is so darn cute. Hot guys holding cute pets is an algorithm we can get behind.

Back in modern times, Ricci is manspreading in the warm waters of the West Atlantic Ocean. And what trip to the Bahamas isn't complete without a boat ride? If you scan through this collection of photos you will see he isn't alone; he has two other beautiful men with him. Browse even further and there is a video of Ricci doing a backflip off the dingy and into the ocean. "It's hump day, who wants to come for a swim?" he asks in the caption.

Finally, this video shows us that Ricci isn't afraid to kiss another guy, or at least the other guy is afraid if he doesn't. Showing a bit of humor and a lot of dominance, our saucy Aussie gives an ultimatum: Give him either a kiss or a slap.
