Franco Noriega is a man of many talents. Olympic swimmer, actor, model. However, the career that brought him to fame is that of a cook. At 28 years old and 1.85 meters tall, this Peruvian has almost 500,000 followers on Instagram, who enthusiastically follow his recipes – generally very healthy and veggies – on this social network.
A few months ago he rose to fame thanks to the advice of another famous Peruvian (photographer Mario Testino) who suggested that he shamelessly exploit his sexy facet. Basically that he would take off his apron and start cooking with little clothes.

"I'm always shirtless. I go shopping shirtless because I come from a tropical climate," he said in an interview with the New York Post. He was also invited to the Ellen de Genares program where he made the host try some of his specialties.
Noriega studies at the prestigious International Culinary Center school in New York (the same one where Bobby Flay or David Chang graduated) and is in charge of a small restaurant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Baby Brasa, with capacity for only 12 diners.
However, his greatest hit so far, his culinary epic, is a chia pudding that had more than 10 million views.
