A Spanish soldier has battled his way to the top of the beauty charts having been crowned Mr Universe. But Ruben López vowed not let the title of hottest man in the world go to his head, instead intending to stand by his troops and stay in military. Armed with just his natural good looks and eye-catching stubble, the attractive army man, who was born in Navas de San Juan, fought off 40 participants from around the globe to receive the prestigious accolade in Lima, Peru, last month. The 22-year-old joined the Spanish Army in 2011 and was subsequently posted to the Armoured Brigade Guadarrama XII at the El Goloso military base in Madrid and assigned to the RBA Section (telecommunications). Despite having being named the most handsome man in the world, Ruben has no intention of hanging up his boots and gun and giving up his profession. He has been studying for his degree in physical education and working as a model and last year, he won the Beauty of Spain contest. In a brief video that provides a glimpse into his day job, Ruben told RuptlyTV he is just another person to those who know him. The modest soldier said: "I am still the same and I will be. Here in my work I am still just one more soldier. I still need to make efforts day by day and keep learning and improving." The new Mr Universe, who has worked in the fashion industry since he was 14 years old, is treated as 'just another soldier' despite his good looks, according to female soldier Lorena Pozas Martin. She said: "He is one more among us but we have that feeling of 'Wow, we are working with Mr Universe!' But, I don’t know, he is just one of us." During the video Ruben can be seen doing push-ups, running with colleagues, lifting weights, and putting on his boots, shirt and beret. The soldier can also be seen drinking coffee with colleagues, putting stairs on a military vehicle, working with an antenna and watching a leopard tank passing by.
