Hottie of the week: Osman Khalid Butt

Who needs messy-haired, vacant-eyed Robert Pattinson, when we’ve got a cuter version of him?

Who is he?

Who needs messy-haired, vacant-eyed Robert Pattinson, when we’ve got a cuter version of him (with a killer sense of humour) right here in Pakistan? He’s pale enough to be a vampire, talented enough to set fire on stage and funny enough to get thousands of comments and likes on his vlog.

Why we’re crushing on him

He may just be in his mid-twenties but this hottie has already formed his own company The Living Picture Productions and has been busy directing, producing, choreographing and acting under its banner. Just recently, he played the role of Hasnat for the Pakistanised version of ‘Taming of the Shrew’ which was presented in London as part of the World Shakespeare Festival. As expected, he received raving reviews from The Guardian — it definitely seems like Osman has global appeal!


We also saw him in an Omore advertisement where he poked fun at Sahir Lodhi — who is practically everyone’s favourite punching bag these days! But everything aside, it’s his photo shoot for Republic by Omar Farooq — where we see him showing off his sumptuous self — that makes us girls skip more than a few heartbeats!

Why he’s a keeper

Even if our world is completely falling apart, we know Osman is the kind of guy who can make us laugh with one of his classic one-liners, a Rihanna remix or better yet, a Meera impersonation.
