WHAT KIND OF ACTING WORK DO YOU DO?
ACTING FOR ME IS VERY NEW AND SOMETHING I’M VERY EXCITED ABOUT. SO FAR IT’S JUST BEEN MUSIC VIDEOS, WALK-ONS AND COMMERCIALS, BUT I’VE HAD A COUPLE OF REALLY BIG CASTINGS LATELY SO FINGERS CROSSED.
IS YOUR MODELLING WORK PRIMARILY TO DO WITH YOUR BODY?
YES, AND NO, REALLY. IT DEPENDS, ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THE STUFF I DO IS SHIRTLESS.
BUT I HAVE DONE A SHOOT FOR A SUNGLASSES CAMPAIGN AND THAT WAS VERY MUCH JUST FOCUSED ON MY FACE.
DO YOU THINK YOUR BODY TYPE LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY OF ACTING AND MODELLING WORK AVAILABLE TO YOU?
ABSOLUTELY. IT LIMITS A LOT OF WORK IN THE UK AS SAMPLE SIZES ARE SO SMALL, BUT I’M PERFECT FOR THE U.S. MARKET WHERE THAT’S NOT SUCH AN ISSUE. I’M PRETTY HAPPY IN MY OWN SKIN AND THE ROLES I DO GET ARE USUALLY THE ONES I WANT TO DO ANYWAY.
