‘GOP hottie’ might get into politics

The so-called “GOP hottie” who caught the eye of countless viewers at Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate says he might have a future in politics.

Gregory Caruso, who sat behind CNN debate moderator Jake Tapper during the GOP showdown and inspired the #GOPhottie hashtag on Twitter, was asked by TMZ.com in a video posted Friday if he would pursue a political profession.

“I could see that down the road later in life,” Caruso replied, before adding, “but as of now I’m focused on my film career.”

Caruso also weighed in on which politician he considered the biggest looker: “I think [former President Reagan’s] the most handsome politician. Maybe the most handsome actor.”

For now, Caruso says he’s basking in the unexpected attention his presence at the debate received, exclaiming he’s “enjoying the ride.”
