His job is beach!

Manu Ríos is nonchalantly getting in on the viral Ken memes with his latest thirst trap and no one is complaining.

The Spanish actor knew what he was doing by sharing two snaps of his toned, sweat-soaked torso that dared to steal the focus from the the crystal clear ocean and white sand beach in the background of his vacation photos.

With his muscular arms extended to accentuate his hairy armpits and shredded abdominals, Ríos channeled his Kenergy into a seductive facial expression that threatened to melt the polar ice caps.

A man of few words, the Elite beefcake captioned the slideshow simply by indicating his whereabouts with the Mexican flag emoji. Fuego!

For those that have been living off the grid and may not be familiar with the Barbie movie, one of the blockbuster film’s most viral moments involves the occupation of Ryan Gosling’s Ken. While some confusion lies whether Ken is a lifeguard or a surfer, the Greta Gerwig film jokes that his job “is just beach.”

Since then, people have been sharing photos and videos of themselves or others near a body of water and proclaiming that their job is beach. Even President Biden got caught up in all the Kenergy beach frenzy.

As you can imagine, Rios’ shore-tastic image got the expected Barbie reaction too – and a whole lot more – from the gays:

Ríos himbo beach day comes just days after he was spotted out on a dinner date with his former Elite co-star André Lamoglia.

The hunky confab took place in Madrid and found the two huddled close in a booth at a trendy restaurant.

It’s unclear who Rios is living his best beach life in Mexico with but we’ll be keeping a lookout over the next few days.

For now, enjoy some more of Manu Ríos working long hours at his job at that very enviable office:
