What was supposed to be a press interview focusing on Lana Del Rey’s return to the Met Gala morphed into a viral sensation for a completely unexpected reason: a handsome model that made the internet “thirsty.”
“She got completely outmugged,” one user wrote on X, lamenting how viewers’ collective attention turned not to the singer’s black gown, but to the mysterious figure looming just behind her.
As images and videos of Del Rey’s interview went viral, the internet immediately did what it does best, launching a coordinated effort to identify the man whose brief appearance had seemingly eclipsed one of the night’s most high-profile attendees.
