It’s impossible for Manu Ríos to take a bad picture.
The breakout star of Netflix’s Élite has been heating up screens and flooding basements with his chiseled good looks and muscular physique ever since joining the hit Spanish telenovela in season four.

Ríos’ latest fashion photoshoot is no different as it features the 24-year-old dripping wet and flaunting his swagger sitting like a king in a pristine hot tub. But there’s a catch – he’s fully clothed!
How about we take this to the next level?

¡Qué lástima!

While fans may have been denied a proper thirst trap featuring Ríos’ buff shoulders, biceps and rippling abs, the real issue is that our poor boy had to soak his lovely bones in a basin of H20 wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants. That’s just wrong!
Jokes aside, Ríos didn’t disappoint and still made the fashion spread a real scorcher and even gave fans of a certain kink a treat by baring his nude soles. Flaunt it if you got it.
The stylish soak editorial is part of Dust Magazine’s Spanish issue, which also stars a shirtless Ríos on the cover draped in a fur and holding a lollipop that says “Te quiero.” Same, papi. Same!

While Ríos relationship status in real life is unclear, his Netflix character of Patrick has been quite busy since arriving to Las Encinas–the private school in Élite–in 2021.
Season six dropped in November and saw Patrick continue his romantic relationship with Iván (André Lamoglia) amid the show’s latest mystery.
Without giving too much away, Patrick and Ivan (aka Patriván or Ivántrick) definitely take viewers on a wild ride throughout the season’s 8-episode binge.

Unfortunately, it sure sounds like Ríos’ days on the series are numbered. Last month, he told the Spanish website Fotogramas that his time on Elite was over… at least for now.
“But who knows, life takes many turns. So, maybe, in another season… Who knows?” he said to the outlet. “But, for now, season six is the closure of my character.”
Although it may be hard to watch Elite’s upcoming seventh and final season, there is consolation to be had by fawning over some of Ríos hottest photos over the last few years.

I jogged my memory to see if I knew who this person was. But nothing came up.

Foot Fetish, Armpit Fetish, Manu Fetish 🙂

In the photo clearly named after me (I’m flattered!) what is he wearing? It looks like a hospital gown with crinolines!
Gay Thomas
Definitely on my top 5 list of new ex-husbands. What do you mean you don’t know who he is? Do you even gay?

I’m guessing from many of the shots in pools etc, there’s only a small chorizo on offer.

Pretty as he is, both he and his sister were seriously annoying characters.
And what he saw in that nebbish of a boyfriend, I’ll never know – especially when the boyfriend’s seriously hot dad was after him, too.

Always good to hear about Manu “the body” Rios. I guess he’s aged out of Elite, as have several of predecesors. He was especially refreshing in his first season on the show. I wish he’d focus some more on his music, he apparently has a great singing voice.

He is definitely HOT and makes “Elite” worth watching. Season 1 is just ‘meh’, but seasons 2 thru 5 are really good. I’m watching season 6 right now and it is ludicrous. The stars are supposed to be high school aged students, yet they have little-to-no parental supervision, frequently seem to be living on their own, have unlimited access to drugs and alcohol every night of the week, have non-stop hookups especially since so many of them are bi and one of them even owns a nightclub. It’s soft core porn for when you have nothing better to watch.

Maybe it’s a European thing. Lol
Show’s have always made the high school kids look more mature then reality though. This one just kicks it up a few notches.

Favorite HS flick ever, To Sir With Love…..but how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?

Most of them are part of exceptionally wealthy families whose parents pay others to take care of their kids, so yeah, probably at 16 they are on their own able to stay out all night and party with the only punishment being a stern eye-roll.
