Model Behaviour: Charlie Roberts

Getting to know the model of tomorrow.

Tell us how you got scouted.

I was scouted in the street by a photographer. I did a shoot with him and his photos got put on Instagram. Agencies through him picked me up.

And what have you been doing since you were scouted?

I have done quite a lot of castings, a lot of magazine editorials. But I also go to university, so I try to juggle that properly.

What are you studying?

I study Geography at the University of Nottingham; I’m in my third year.

So what has been your favourite modelling moment so far?

My favourite modelling moment was probably a shoot [I did] for a magazine. It was set on a basketball court and I had really cool sportswear. I was styled for it and I like being styled, so that was quite fun!

If you could work with any photographer, who would it be?

There’s a guy called Jorden Keith on Instagram, from L.A. He does loads of famous people, loads of big shoots.

Career wise you’re still super young. What do you most look forward to, shows or shoots?

I like to do a combination really. I think I’m more suited to shoots but I would like to do a
couple of shows. I think it would be a good experience.

And what do you get up to when you’re not modelling?

I go to the gym a lot, I play football a lot and I go to university as well – so it’s about balancing those three.

Tell us a bit about your gym routine.

My gym routine is a mixture between cardio and weights. I do a lot of weights to keep myself lean but then do a lot of cardio to make sure I don’t get too big!

Do you have a skincare routine?

Yeah, I use a lot of moisturiser. I’m really into Kiehl’s skincare range, I use a lot of that.

Where is your favourite place you’ve travelled to as part of the job?

I went to a casting at the Burberry headquarters; I was requested to go to that, so that was really cool. Really professional building, that was nice.

Who are your favourite male and female models?

Male has got to be, probably what everyone says, David Gandy. I think he’s a cool bloke! Female, probably someone like Hailey Baldwin. She’s cool.

What has been your favourite thing that you’ve warn on a shoot so far?

Probably the sportswear [shoot] I told you about because I like sportswear a lot.
