The internet fell in love with Libert after a photographer tweeted a photo of him in his work clothes.
Then fans went on a mission to track him down.
People have even approached him at work.

Elite is responsible for the careers of supermodels including Cindy Crawford, Gisele Bundchen, and Lara Stone.
The photographer behind the famous photo, Danika, told BuzzFeed News she is happy for Libert.
Libert told BuzzFeed News the experience has been "unreal", but he won't be quitting his job as a construction worker just yet.
