Meet beggar bae.
A proud professional panhandler is taking social media by storm because of his handsome, chiseled looks — while insisting he has no interest in making it as a model.
Brad Love, a self-described career panhandler who admits he is not homeless, has attracted a swoon-worthy following online after clips of his unconventional money-making stint started going viral on TikTok.
Love’s popularity exploded after an LA-based photographer posted footage of him clutching a cardboard sign in Palm Springs last week as he asked drivers for money.
“Is this some sort of joke?’ the photog asked. “Someone sign him immediately. Like he’s incredible…”
His social media was immediately awash with fawning fans insisting he should swap the streets for the runway.
But Love told them, “I am a professional panhandler. I am not interested in modeling or acting.”
“Seriously, I don’t want to model,” Love said in a separate TikTok video.
“Just don’t, you know, don’t worry about it. I have no interest in getting a job. If I wanted a job, I’d go get a job. I was nurse, I don’t want to do that.”
“This is much easier,” he said of asking for money.
“So yeah, that’s my rant. I hate to say it, but some people just don’t want to a job – I’m one of them!” he admitted.
Love went on to insist his newfound viral fame was actually bad for business.
He claimed to followers that cops in Palm Springs had recently tracked him down as he was begging and ordered him to stop.
He boasts more than 20,000 followers on TikTok where he advertises his cash app account in his profile bio.
It wasn’t immediately clear how much cash Love rakes in from his street hustling but one clip posted last month showed him bragging about making $260 in a matter of hours.
