WONDERLUST: JACE MOODY

Pretty boy Jace Moody from Next talks to us about biscuit dunking and Jessica Alba.

Jace Moody

Age: 22

Hometown: Hull

I was scouted: At the end of 2011. A family friend put me in touch with Next, I went to see them and they took me on.

Hobbies: Just normal stuff. I was a semi-pro footballer back home but don’t play as much now, just have the odd kick around. I also like going for a pint at the pub with my mates.

Current obsession: Twitter, I don’t even realise it but I check it all the time!

Pet peeve: Rude people.

Fear: I don’t really like heights or flying.

Guilty pleasure: Sweets, chocolate and biscuits. If I open a packet, that’s it, I eat them all. Especially when I dunk them in my tea.

Last lie I told: Was probably an excuse to get me out of doing something

Dream job: I would like to have my own business, which will hopefully get going this year.

Favourite childhood memory: Probably playtime in primary school when you were allowed to go on the grass and it didn’t matter if you got your trousers dirty because it was Friday.

Home is: Chelsea at the moment, but home home is up North.

Favourite London hang out: Central London, I meet a lot of friends around there after castings.

Favourite food: Italian. I love bread and pasta, when I was in Milan I literally ate it all day every day.

Dream dinner date: Jessica Alba. I was working at a Ferragamo dinner and she was there. She was just as amazing in real life which was really nice as sometimes when you actually meet someone famous they can be a disappointment.

Favourite movie: Catch Me If you Can.

Least favourite movie: The only film I’ve ever walked out of was Gran Torino.

Favourite cartoon: The Jetsons,

Favourite Superhero: Clark Kent/ Superman, he has good hair and I like that he is also a normal guy.

First gig: Oasis at Heaton Park.

Music I like: Lots of different things. Jay-Z, Drake, Michael Buble. On the way here I was listening to Radio 1’s Live Lounge album.

Most treasured possession: My phone.

Last thing I bought: A newspaper.

Career Highlight: Probably the first time I did a show. It’s a weird feeling because everyone is watching you, I’d never thought so much about walking in a straight line!

Future plans: To keep modelling and also figure out something I can do more long term that I can focus on. In the far far future I want to get married and have kids.

Myself in three words: Determined, hardworking and down to earth.
