“Hot Model Dad” Goes Viral

The internet has become fascinated with dads with everything from dad jokes to dad bods. The latest trend is the “Hot Model Dad.” It all started when University of Toledo student Collin Hayslett tweeted a selection of modelling shots of his 45-year-old father, Clint.

My dad is 45, pursuing a modeling career, and I’ve never seen him happier. He told me he’s just waiting for a chance to blow up. So, Twitter, meet my dad. pic.twitter.com/zYSmZGbPCn
