    Meet The Hottest Mushroom Farmer In The World

    Holy shiitake mushrooms.

    Attention, citizens. Allow me to introduce you to Marco Lobregat.

    You're welcome.

    Marco was something of a matinee idol in the Philippines in the '90s and early '00s after starring in a Coca-Cola ad campaign.

    After working in sales and in newsrooms, Marco eventually entered agriculture and became, yes, a mushroom farmer.

    Found some #Mushrooms at #Macalauan Always loved their dairy products, now I love them even more! These guys rock!

    His love for fun guys — er, fungi is evident on his Twitter.

    When he's not busy entrepreneuring, he still finds time to casually take modeling jobs.

    And to be featured in magazines.

    And to appear at events because he's a brilliant human and v. easy on the eyes.

    Reaaaaaally easy on the eyes.

    Be it with a beard.

    Or no beard.

    Or just the perfect amount of stubble.

    Literally all of this is G O A L S.

    Follow Marco on Instagram or on Twitter. Because, you know, you really love mushrooms, maybe.
