Omar Borkan Al Gala, a smouldering poet, actor, and photographer from Dubai, is rumoured to be one third of the chiselled trio that was deported by Saudi authorities who feared that they would prove irresistible to the Kingdom's women. 

The three men from the United Arab Emirates are said to have been removed from the Jenadrivah Heritage & Culture Festival in Riyadh because they were "too handsome". 

Women, and some men, across the world have been longing for a glimpse of the illegally attractive men and the internet's probing spotlight has fallen on Al Gala. 

The young man, who appears to be wearing eye-liner in many of his Facebook glamour shots, posted a link to an article about the deportation with the comment: "This is what written in newspapers in over the world :)" 

Although far from definitive proof, the post set off a stampede of speculation, which Al Gala has done nothing to discourage. 

Instead he has continued to post his sultry pictures, sometimes wearing a Lakers jersey and at others posing with a sports car or with a rifle. 

"The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides," he posted in one typically meaningless caption. 

But to his admirers he can do no wrong. "Killing me softly with these eyes," one wrote. 

How his new fans will react if the whole episode emerges to have simply been a clever public relations stunt remains to be seen.
