Is this the hottest man on earth right now? Watch out David Gandy, Ben 'sad face' Dahlhaus is after your supermodel crown

He may just be the hottest man on earth right now: at this very moment, women the world over are swooning at his long, tousled hair and chiselled bone structure.

But Ben Dahlhaus also has that little extra something that sets some men apart, taking them from  merely handsome to object of desire. In his case, it's his 'sad face'.

One particular image of the Swedish model looking into the camera lens with a furrowed brow and heartbreakingly sad, puppy dog eyes has sent his profile into the stratosphere.

Esra Sam took photos of Swedish male model Ben Dahlhaus doing a sad face, it soon went viral

An EliteDaily writer even used the caption 'his sad face is hotter than your hottest face' - and many agreed.

In the shot Ben purses his lips slightly as his long sunkissed hair falls to one side and

the light hits a tanned, toned arm.

While his hipster credentials are obvious - beard, ear plugs - we think Ben works it in his own individual way.

Little is known about the handsome fellow aside from his name and country of residence, but the mystery makes him all the moire fascinating.
