Hillary Clinton’s previously-unknown ‘hunky nephew’ has provided a brief distraction from the mammoth US presidential campaign.

Tyler Clinton, 22, was spotted at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) last week by eagle-eyed viewers who noted his chiselled good looks.

It turns out they weren’t the only ones to notice Clinton, who was chosen to model for upmarket denim brand Citizens of Humanity’s advertising campaign last year.

Despite the shoot being a year old, traffic to photographer Adina Doria’s website shot up after Clinton’s appearance at the DNC.

The photographer told US site Entertainment Tonight  Clinton was a model subject and “Bill and Hillary love him”.

“Working with Tyler was amazing,” Adina said.

“He was incredibly professional, very well-mannered and a truly genuine person. He was friendly to everyone on set and arrived early to location.”

The best part of this Presidency will clearly be @HillaryClinton's nephew #TylerClinton #HOLYHELL

Clinton was modelling for his father’s friend Gerard Guez’s stable of denim brands, which also include Super Dry and 7 For All Mankind.

Doria, who has shot stars including Mena Suvari and musician Moby, said Clinton was a natural in front of the camera.

She said the young model and his girlfriend were very active in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and/or intersex (LGBTI) movement, but did not divulge any political aspirations.

Melbourne council demands mural be taken down

While Tyler Clinton’s aunt Hillary officially accepted the Democratic nomination on Friday, she was being enshrined in an entirely different manner in Melbourne.

Local graffiti artist Lushsux – responsible for the recent Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian murals in Melbourne – has sparked international headlines for his depiction of Hilary Clinton in a skimpy bathing suit.

The piece, painted on a Footscray business, has been deemed “offensive” by the local council, who have asked the business owners to paint over it.

A new-look First Daughter

Yet another member of the Clinton clan in the public eye recently is Hillary and Bill Clinton’s sole heir, Chelsea Clinton.

Finding herself in the unique position of possibly entering a third term as First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton appears to have gained new-found confidence and willingness in the very public position.

After years of avoiding the spotlight, Chelsea Clinton surprised many by accepting a position with TV station NBC and ascending to the board of the Clinton Foundation in 2011.

The mother of two has been a stalwart on her mother’s campaign trail thus far, often appearing alongside Hillary and speaking well at the DNC last week.

In her address, Chelsea Clinton drew on childhood memories of her parents reading to her before bed, and revealed the power couple always discussed political issues of the day with her.

Fascinatingly, Chelsea has apparently managed to keep up her friendship with political counterpart Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s eldest child, who is often referred to as his secret weapon.

Perhaps more surprisingly, in an interview with The New York Times, Donald Trump said he was a fan of Chelsea and approved of the friendship.
