Tonga's Olympic flag bearer is actually the perfect man.

There may have been 207 flag bearers in the Rio Olympics opening ceremony, but only one truly captured our imaginations hearts.

The well-oiled, shirtless Tongan one.

This is him.

Twitter lit up as little-known taekwondo athlete and occasional model TaiPita Nikolas Taufatofua walked ahead of his team.

With good reason.

But it appears there’s more to the man than his chiselled rig.

Here’s what we know:

1. He’s 32.

2. He was born in Australia, but raised in Tonga.

3. His father is Tongan, his mother is Australian-British.

4. He currently lives in Brisbane.

5. He has an engineering degree and is working on his master’s degree

6. He works at Sandgate House, which an emergency support service for homeless youth.

7. He is the first Tongan to qualify in taekwondo for the Olympics.
