Forget the McRib — customers at one McDonald’s were asking for McRipped.

Daniel Parker, 22, used his job at the Golden Arches — and his impressive physique — as a stepping stone to a career as a personal trainer, and now he’s encouraging others who see fast food as a dead-end job to use the time to discover their full potential.

“I have been employed since I was 16 years old,” the sexy Scot explained in a video posted to social media.

“I’ve always felt a security with having a monthly salary or a weekly salary coming in. But if you never take that risk, you’ll never have the opportunity for the reward,” the fit fry-wrangler said.

Parker believes that McDonald’s, and later the South African chicken chain Nando’s, were great places to gain work experience; attention from his customers — especially more mature women, according to The Sun — gave him the opportunity to grow his social media and gain the confidence he needed to make his fitness hobby a full-time gig.

The hamburger hunk currently boasts 164,800 followers on TikTok.

Still, being admired for his physique wasn’t enough — the young man explained that he realized that working at the chain restaurants eventually became detrimental to his mental well-being.

“They gave me an opportunity with social media but I only find fulfillment through exercise and helping people reach their goals,” Parker said of McDonald’s and Nandos.

“They gave me so many opportunities but it’s not where I see my life going,” he admitted. “It’s just kind of taken a toll on my mental health to the point where I can’t do it anymore.”

“I need to take that jump, take the risk to build my own business.”

Parker has turned to using his social media accounts to promote his fitness training business.

“It’s a financial risk that’s scary,” he shared.

“But it’s something I know I’m good at and find fulfillment from.”
