A TEENAGE boy’s dreams are shattered by fate, but it’s the struggle of life that makes it worth living. That may sound like the synopsis of a great movie about triumphing over adversity but it accurately describes the life of Brazilian model Leonardo Silva.
The aspiring model’s ambitions were put on hold when, as a teenager, he was diagnosed with cancer. His story is told on his YouTube channel and, he says, he hopes it will inspire others in their struggle to overcome pain and disease.
Since his full recovery, Leo, now 26, has been unstoppable. He’s become a successful entrepreneur with his seafood business, has graduated from his studies in Physics, Mathematics and Physical Education, and is finishing a Civil Engineering degree. He currently holds the title of Mister Santa Catarina, and has become the face of Gregg Homme for 2017.

About DNA Magazine
Welcome to our Next Big Thing issue. Every day we’re bombarded with
news of the “the latest”, “the newest”, “the most amazing next…” So we
asked our contributors and correspondents to look to their speciality fields
and focus on the next big things we’re really going to appreciate.
For example, 3D porn is already here but fully interactive experiences are just around the corner. On stage, we’re looking forward to Bette Midler in Hello Dolly! and Pamela Rabe in The Testament Of Mary. It’s going to be a big year for gay content on film and television. Along with Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name and the Australian feature The Dream Children are going to make it an extraordinary year for gay film.
On the health front, there are extraordinary developments in medical technology that are going to profoundly change lives, and the food we eat is no small part of it. Then, of course, there’s the world of fashion where change is fundamental (and fun).
And let’s not forget the men and the models who are going to be heating up our
pages, our news feeds and blowing up our Instagram accounts! We hope you like what we’ve put together. Enjoy the Next Big Things!
