Russell doesn't exactly live up to his name; At 5 foot 11, Russell is not short. As one of our newer commercial Male & Fitness models, he is always working (or working out). We asked him 10 questions
Tell
us a bit about yourself?
I am
fairly new to the industry having only been a model for 8 months but I am
loving every minute. I also co-own a couple of businesses alongside
modelling, one being a football coaching company and the other a luxury
travel & concierge company focusing on Miami (www.miami-x.com)
Who
(or what) inspired you to become a model?
I had
never really thought about modelling until one of my good friends, who is also
in the industry persuaded me to send some pictures off and I haven’t looked
back since.
What
do you do in your spare time?
My spare
time is normally spent working, but I love it really. Aside from this you will
normally find me in the gym! I am partial to a dance floor on a Saturday night
too...
How
would your best friend describe you?
My best
friend would begrudgingly tell you I like to make people laugh… In three
words I guess he would say ‘hard-working’ ‘driven’ and ‘positive'
What
would your superpower be?
Being
able to be invisible would be quite cool but I think I’d have to say being able
to stop time as it’s without doubt the most precious thing.
Who
are your favourite models?
Probably
not classed as a ‘model’ but David Beckham is the man.
What
are the last three things you bought?
Train
ticket to London, flat white (extra hot for the journey) and had a bit of a
spree in Nike Town after a casting.
Who’s
your favourite Disney princess?
Pocahontas
after I went a bit weak at the knees after meeting her in Florida a few years
ago!
If
you inherited an acre of land, what would you do with it?
Build
the most incredible house so I can hold the best parties without annoying any
neighbours.
What
are your top 3 life goals?
Living
somewhere where I wake up next to a beach every morning, to have a happy,
healthy family and I wouldn’t mind still having a six pack at sixty!
