But we couldn't help but wonder what else there was to know about the 6'4" shampoo-commercial shoo-in. And what we found made him even more dreamy.

1. He's From Los Angeles.

Leo is an LA native, currently living in Studio City.

2. He's Been Growing His Hair For 10 Years

3. He Works in Construction — but That's Not All

Leo works for his family's construction business, but he's also an actor and a stuntman! His IMDb profile shows TV and movie credits dating back to 2011, including American Horror Story.
