It has been challenging, but we’ve spent all week scouring Instagram to bring you this week’s Instahottie: Bách Buquen.
The 19-year-old Buquen grew up in the Sixth in Paris. He told VMAN, “my favorite neighborhood.” His mother was formerly an actress, and so he grew up around fashion, but was originally into sports—almost every one. “I started making content almost two years ago now, mainly for fun, centered around sports. Like my favorite calisthenics,” he tells me, before listing a litany of other athletic exploits: “I played rugby. I did ballet for seven years, so for a long part of my life. I did wrestling, swimming, a little bit of everything.”
Bach Buquen is a French TikTok star (he has over 9 million followers) who recently signed on for a MAC campaign.
Here is a sampling of his TikTok videos.
