Hunky 'Clark Kent' look-alike steals the show at Jan. 6 hearings

https://nypost.com/2022/07/22/hunky-clark-kent-lookalike-steals-show-at-jan-6-hearings/

I thought it was just me until I saw I was far from alone in observing this attractive young man....

"President Donald Trump’s alleged role in last year’s violent attack, many viewers were thinking the same thing: Who was that hot Clark Kent look-alike sitting in the crowd?"

"That’s right, a Superman doppelganger stole the show at Thursday’s hearing with the hashtag “Clark Kent” trending on Twitter late Thursday night."

“Ok yes Trump is guilty….BUT WHO IS THIS…Ok Clark Kent!!” exclaimed one Twitter user of the then-unknown eye candy."

"The Man of Steely Gaze has since been identified as 23-year-old Alex Wollet, a medical school student from Ohio, according to TMZ, who reportedly unearthed his secret identity on Friday. (More on him later.)"

"The mystery man in question, who was seated behind witnesses Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews, was sporting a sleek navy suit and glasses — earning him comparisons to Superman’s bespectacled reporter alter ego, Clark Kent."

"Social media went absolutely gaga over the handsome Man of Steel facsimile."

Steely gaze , maybe, but that’s about it. I hope these gaga eyed people were paying attention to the real event.

No Party out back, but possible interesting possibilities up top....depending on your orientation....

He may be Chris Forsberg's brother.

I was wondering whose boyfriend/intern he was. Definitely hot, though. He must have been someone's guest, though. Wonder who it was.

"The Man of Steely Gaze has since been identified as 23-year-old Alex Wollet, a medical school student from Ohio, according to TMZ, who reportedly unearthed his secret identity on Friday. (More on him later.)"

"On Friday morning, TMZ reported that mystery man Wollet lived in Washington, DC, where he was doing a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. Since he became a trending topic, Wollet as set his social media accounts to private, according to the outlet."

"New York Magazine writer Yashar Ali also had previously teased that he knew who the mystery man was but hadn’t revealed further information or his source, only disclosing that the attractive attendee is off the market."

“The good looking man sitting behind Pottinger is not single,” he wrote. “That’s all I will say and that’s all you need to know!”
