Help, I’m hot and homeless! Atlanta man goes viral for his good looks after pleading for room to sleep in
A homeless man from Atlanta went viral on social media after users complimented his good looks when he asked for a room.
The man – whose social media handle goes by Bigbossd Escobar – says he is now receiving modelling requests after posting in a Facebook group asking for a room he could move into after losing his home.
In a June 30 post, Escobar uploaded several photos of himself alongside the message: “I recently lost my home, I just need a place that’s reasonably priced so I can get back on my feet, tired of sleeping in shelters in Atlanta. I’m a very quiet person and keep to myself. I have a job and also have a clothing line.
“I moved from St. Louis to Atlanta four years ago. If anyone can send me any information, I’d appreciate it. Thank you, I appreciate it.”

Shortly after he posted the message, members of the group began commenting, suggesting he become a model.
Someone wrote: ‘I just have to say this: you should do modeling! People pay to look at your face!’
While another complimented: ‘Jeez, he’s handsome! You should really become a model’.
“People would pay you to model their clothes. Go to Google and search for modeling and acting castings in Atlanta. Trust that you will be chosen, even for backup or a cast,” said a third.
A user also prayed, “I hope you find the help you need. I wish I had a place or extra resources to help. You should definitely become a model. You are absolutely gorgeous.”
In an update posted today, he told his followers that he will be meeting with a model maker named K’la Inman to kick off his career.
Some well-wishers also suggested contacting nonprofits such as the Red Cross for assistance, room search websites and offered advice on how to build a credit score.
One user suggested: ‘Try Splitpad, you can rent a room for as little as $500 a month’.
While another said: ‘Do PadSplit. Pay weekly. $100 or less to get a room and no strings attached. I did it for a year and would have been homeless without it.’
The post, which received more than three thousand comments and likes, made Escobar extremely famous.
