A mystery man spotted in the crowd by social media was cause for another type of debate.

The young man was sitting behind moderator Jake Tapper during Wednesday night's GOP debate on CNN.

Across the country, women and men used the hashtag #MysteryHottie and #HotDebateGuy to ponder over the identity of "hot guy."

CNN later confirmed that Greg Caruso of Los Angeles, Calif., is indeed the man who won the hearts of the Internet during the debate. The 24-year-old is an aspiring filmmaker, according to CNN.

"It's pretty hilarious," he told CNN. "Social media can focus on some guy at the debate instead of the debate."

Not everyone was swooning over the "hot guy," apparently he looks like a "serial killer" to some.
