Italian model Pietro Boselli has built a massive following across social media by sharing workout tips, fashion campaigns, and an endless stream of thirst traps.
He’s partnered with brands like Tommy Hilfiger, posed for the cover of GQ Italia, and attracted a large fan base among gay men for, well, obvious reasons.He’s been featured on Queerty a few (dozen) times over the years, as well as nearly every gay lifestyle publication, and counts among his Twitter followers drag queens, queer entertainers and major Pride organizations.
Speaking to Attitude in 2016, he even said his involvement in the fashion industry has helped him “to become more involved in the gay community.”“For me, that’s been huge in terms of evolving as a person, who I am, understanding different viewpoints,” he said.But is the admiration shown by queer fans really reciprocated?
A dive into his recent Twitter activity suggests not.Boselli links to his Twitter account from his official website. He currently has over 90K followers (small change compared to the 2.9 million on Instagram), but only follows 80 accounts.
