What were you doing before modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\nI’m also a professional skateboarder and tattoo artist. I did my tattoo apprenticeship in Venice Beach, California where I grew up. I started practising on my friends and went from there. I did art before tattooing so it made it easier to transition to that medium. <\/p>\n
What do you like to do when you’re not modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\nTattoo-ing, skateboarding or chilling at home. I’m a real homebody so I like cooking dinner and watching films. I stay at home as much as possible.<\/p>\n
What type of music do you like?<\/strong><\/p>\nI like all music, from country to punk rock. Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan. I’ve been listening to a lot of country\/ rockabilly recently.<\/p>\n
What’s your favourite film?<\/strong><\/p>\nStepbrothers, Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs.<\/p>\n
Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?<\/strong><\/p>\nBears. I’m deeply terrified of bees, I could deal with a bear but not bees. <\/p>\n
What shows did you walk in last season?<\/strong><\/p>\nI just did London. Oliver Spencer and Vauxhall Fashion Scout.<\/p>\n
What’s your favourite place to hang out in London?<\/strong><\/p>\nI enjoy going shopping in Camden<\/p>\n
Is there a person in the industry that inspires you?<\/strong><\/p>\nA number of people in my life inspire me. I’m my own inspiration by pure willpower of overcoming things in my life and achieving things I’ve wanted to. I put everything in to what I want and have always done my own thing. Music also really inspires me and interesting people. <\/p>\n
What’s your favourite item of clothing?<\/strong><\/p>\nMy all-black polka dot three piece suit.<\/p>\n
When you were a kid what did you dress up as for Halloween?<\/strong><\/p>\nI dressed up every year. One year I dressed as a traditional cowboy. My godfather worked for the movie industry so he got me a proper old costume. I’ve also dressed up as a nun in sunglasses and a tourist with a black eye. <\/p>\n
What couldn’t you live without?<\/strong><\/p>\nMy skateboard.<\/p>\n
Do you sing in the car?<\/strong><\/p>\nI sing everywhere!<\/p>\n
What would you like to do in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\nSucceed and get to the the top of everything I want to do. I strive to be the best. <\/p>\n
