They discovered who is the 'boy playboy' that became the meme of the moment

If you access social networks with a certain frequency, be it Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you may have come across a meme that uses a photo of a boy with a "playboy" face, wearing a shirt and shorts, a belt and a pair of moccasins - in addition to the beautiful tanning of those who sunbathed in socks. For the internet is relentless and they have already found the boy behind the already iconic photo. 

He is a Twitter user and Instagram who identifies himself only as Lucky Luciano - who is also the name of one of the most famous and influential Italian mafia members who acted in crime in the first half of the twentieth century. The photo is from September 2, 2014 and was published on Twitter, where it had 1.7 thousand likes and the same amount of retweets until the date the account became closed at the end of 2016. The version that the user posted on Instagram the same day it is still there.

The image was "discovered" still in the middle of 2016 and began to viralize as meme. More recently, in Brazil, it has fallen in the taste of users of social networks and WhatsApp and has become shared - or with some phrase making fun of situations in which a person with that appearance would not handle very well, or in recreations of the pose, some even in the same place where the photo was taken, the city of Tampa, Florida.

The boy was arrested in July 2018 and created a campaign to raise funds to help pay his costs to justice. According to him, his arrest happened because of "bullshit" and the police were "trying to destroy his life." However, a Twitter user pulled the boy's "capybara" and there were records of several prisons for possession of drugs and other reasons.

Lucky Luciano is currently trying to capitalize on his success, but lazily, with a YouTube channel where he publishes virtually nothing and a site where he would allegedly sell replicas of the costume he wears on the photo he made famous, but nothing is available there yet. Meanwhile, your photo will continue being synonymous with "playboy" and mauricinho, at least here in Brazil.
