Anna: If I remember right, I read some satire article about a man that was so sexy he had to be deported out of his country. This was a country in the Middle East and I recall he was attracting too much attention there. Of course I did some digging around and found out it was fake. But man, aren't Middle Eastern men hot? There's a gallery here for you if you disagree. Sadly there is barely any information about them on the Internet so we have to settle with their lovely names and nationality.

Daniela: There's something about Middle Eastern men that just make you want to stare at their faces and bask in their beauty. I mean, look at their strong features - their olive skin, dark-colored eyes, defined jawline - you could see why they're considered as one of the most attractive races. 

     Thomas William Hiddleston is an English actor; best known for his portrayal of Loki in Marvel Studios’ films, The Avengers, Thor, and Thor 2: The Dark World. His acting career kickstarted when he was discovered in a play, earning him a contract with an agency. From there on out, his success in the field bloomed as he appeared in more and more films. 

     Standing 6 feet and 2 inches tall and often looking all suited up and dapper, Tom is hands-down a drop-dead gorgeous human being. He is distinguished by his perfectly blond hair; always kept neat and in place, his hopelessly captivating blue-green eyes, and his killer smile. Now, before I continue: a photo montage that is bound to drag you deeper into the tragically beautiful abyss that is Tom Hiddleston...

     (Yes, he drew that.)

     This man is undeniably attractive on the outside, and we’re in luck, because it’s the same on the inside. His major trademark is his politeness and articulation; the way he behaves around his co-actors, interviewers, and fans. He is so full of charisma and is evidently friendly to his admirers; reportedly calling fans “darling” and saying things like “bless you”. A true gentleman. I wouldn’t be surprised if this Tumblr caption/tag is actually true:

    Being a fan of things like Shakespeare and theatrics, together with his knack for being respectful and polite, Tom is pegged as sort of an old-fashioned guy, in a good way, of course. We aren't complaining at all! In fact, I think men all around the world should be taking some notes from this gallant creature. He is a very refined, all-around guy, who happens to be an eloquent speaker; another point to add to his never-ending list of good qualities. It seems as though this sophistication has disabled from doing things like turning his colorful vocabulary down a few notches if the situation called for it. Exhibit A: Using the phrase "delayed gratification" in his appearance on Sesame Street, (a children's show, mind you) where he taught Cookie Monster a little lesson in self-control. Is "reward" the word you were looking for, Tom?

     Although we have dwelled mostly on his etiquette and refinement, you'll be pleased to hear that, like most of our adored icons of today, he's got a more comic side to his personality. Behind that suave mantle is his sense of humor; from goofing around on set to (successfully) imitating Natalie Portman:

     I think the world could use a little less violence, injustice, and anarchy, and a little more men like Tom Hiddleston.

     Prince Henry Charles Albert David Windsor also known as Prince Harry of Wales or Captain Harry Wales in the military, might be known as the notorious child of Diana, Princess of Wales and Charles, Prince of Wales,but this 29-year-old prince never forgets to show, time and time again, that he is definitely more than his family background.

     A six year old Prince Harry once told his big brother, Prince William, that, "You'll be king, I won't; so I can do what I want!" and boy did he live up to that statement. Back in 2005, he was seen going to a costume party in a Nazi uniform and I'm pretty sure we all know how that ended (not well). In 2012, photos of the prince partying naked with a lot of men and women in his private suit were leaked and in between all of those, he can be seen out and about town partying it up in bars and pubs around the world.

     Don't let this fool you though! In 2005, Prince Harry and Prince William started their lives in the military. After several weeks in the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, Prince Harry graduated as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. A year after graduating, speculations about him being deployed in Iraq rose, but this was immediately announced as not true by the British Army. In 2008 though, the British Army officials confirmed that Prince Harry has been fighting in the frontline of battles in Afghanistan since December of the previous year so that he can finally have "the chance to do the soldiering I wanted to do from ever since I joined," and almost right after that got leaked in the media, Prince Harry got sent home.

     On top of all his military duties, he is still very much involved in all of his humanitarian and royal duties. After graduating from Eton College in England, Prince Harry chose to spend a part of his gap year working with AIDS orphans in Africa. He is also a patron and ambassador to several organizations like the London Marathon Charitable Trust, WellChild, and Walking With the Wounded to name a few. 

     Prince Harry is also the very first member of the British Royal Family to reach the South Pole. Last December 2013, along with several injured servicemen and women, Prince Harry spent 13 days in the South Pole where he also got busy building toilets that they can use during their stay there.

     Prince Harry is quite an athlete too! He excelled in polo and rugby union the most.

     Prince Harry of Wales is one swoon-worthy, real life prince charming. Where can I get one of those?

     At 19 years old, student and part-time model, Joshua Brand has taken over the hearts and computer screens of thousands of teenage girls around the world. 

    This Isle of Man native has sparked up an Internet frenzy when rumors circled around saying that he was going to play Augustus Waters from The Fault In Our Stars. Fans began to create manips of Joshua as Augustus and people began to rave about him thinking that he had already been casted in the movie, but even though it had already been proven to be untrue and even if the names of the real cast members have already been released, the hype did not end there. 

     Despite being all just rumors, it did not stop Joshua from gaining fans and support from people. From creating fan art to sending love on Twitter, Joshua is without a doubt adored by many. In fact, The Infernal Devices fans have eyed him to be their Will Herondale. 

      So for those of you who have not heard of Joshua, and for those who want to know more about him, we got the chance to have a little chat with the man himself:



What have you been up to lately?

Joshua: I've recently been on my Christmas break from university and have been working at a temporary ice rink as an ice marshal and then as a waiter in a local cafe in my hometown.


What kind of music do you listen to? Who's your favorite artist at the moment?

J: What I listen to totally depends on my mood, whether I'm in the mood to party or just a quite listen to some songs! At the moment I would say my favourite to listen to are Bastille.


How much time do you spend on the internet?

J: I don't spend too much, but when I have time I do love a good browse!


How did you get into modeling?

J: I got into modeling because of a friend, also a photographer, wanted to take photos of me for his portfolio.

Apart from being a student and a model, what do you usually do during your free time?

J: In my spare time I love spending it with friends, playing games on my computer or PS3 or eating my favourite food 


Where do you see yourself in 5 years or so?

J: In 5 years I'd love to be out traveling the world seeing some amazing places and creating some lifelong memories.


Is it weird that so many teenage girls look up to you? Have you ever had a crazy fan encounter/experience?

J: Yes, it's very strange! I'm nothing but your average teenager!! Once when I was in America, I was asked to take a photo with someone who knew me from the internet, that was pretty crazy for me!


How did you react when The Fault In Our Stars fans wanted you to become Augustus Waters?

J: Well, apparently I took it really well.. But I don't know really, I just took it as it came and got on with trying to keep all my new followers happy.


Lastly, do you think you're a "babe"?

J: No, not at all! I really don't see why anyone would see it!

     Yet here is another humble young man before us. Joshua might be well-loved by many teenager girls for his pretty blue eyes and his defined cheekbones but as he said himself, he's just like any of us. If you put aside the Augustus Waters hype and his seemingly successful modeling career, you'd find out that he's just Joshua Brand; an average teenager making his way in this world. 

      Thank you for your time, Joshua!

     Entrepreneur, author, model, student, - 24 year old Nicklas Kingo is definitely seizing the day.


Meet Nicklas


What have you been up to lately?

Nicklas: I’ve been working on some side-businesses a lot lately. I’m taking a long break from modeling. I’m starting uni in September so I want to make sure I’ve built enough cash flow that needs as little maintenance as possible, so I don’t have to live like a student. So far I’ve set up an ebook publishing business, which is coming along nicely. I’m also experimenting with freelance translation and looking into setting up an e-commerce store.


It is our understanding that you have many passions. What introduced you to them and which would you say do you prioritize or want to prioritize the most?

N: I used to play a lot of guitar and sing a lot. I’d spend every night putting together music. I was pretty good at one point, and I was in the Danish x-factor just for shits and gigs. I got through two rounds, but as soon as I wasn’t allowed to use my guitar I couldn’t keep up – I’ve never sung without playing guitar, so I couldn’t hit a single note and I got the kick. I don’t play so much anymore though – I don’t know why.

I really enjoy reading books and blogs. That’s what I spend the most of my time on. I write a lot as well, which is why I started my ebook business and why I want to study journalism.

My dream right now is to have my own TV show one day. I’m a big fan of Anthony Bourdain and his travel/food shows. My one single favourite activity is trying new foods in different cultures and eating and drinking with good company.

Modeling 101


How did you start modeling? Do you think your life would have been different if you never went in the business?

N: I’ve always been the kind of person who jumped on every opportunity to try new things, so when I was told I should try applying at a modeling agency, it didn’t take long before I sent in some photos.

Yes, very different. I’d probably be in school now, halfway done. But I wouldn’t have traded the experiences modeling has given me for anything. In the last two years I’ve lived in a dozen cities and seen so many things. When I look at all my mates who just spent their gap year working in a store, or didn’t take one at all, I feel like I have grown so much more than them. It sounds kind of harsh and arrogant, I know, and I shouldn’t be passing judgment when they haven’t been given the same opportunities I have, but what can you do.


Do people at home treat you differently after your success in modeling? How did you react/deal with it?

N: Not anymore, but in the beginning they did yeah. People where so much more accommodating all of the sudden. It was tangible. I had been a bit of a fatty a few months prior, but now that I was fit and a successful model, I got so much more respect everywhere I went. And the amount of attention from the girls was ridiculous compared to before. I’m just happy I didn’t get into it earlier, because I don’t think I would have been able to remain grounded had I started when I was a few years younger.

I’m not going to lie; I really enjoyed the newly acquired attention and respect. But I also remember feeling slightly turned off by it, which is why I think I can honestly say I never abused it. I got annoyed by being judged by my looks, and I started to really understand why hot girls treat some guys like crap; you just sick of the attention you get based solely on good genetics.

I want to be appreciated for my personality and talents, not something I haven’t done fuck all to acquire.

What is one life lesson you have learned from the fashion industry and from modeling?

N: You should do what makes you proud. Whatever you can look at and think, “I fucking made this” and pat yourself on the back. This is the main reason why I’ve taken a long break from modeling; modeling does not give me much sense of accomplishment. I’m a bit tired of a lot of the bullshit that comes along with it. That being said I will start modeling again when I feel ready for it. It’s a perfect side job when you’re studying. 

I want to stress that I’m grateful for everything modeling has given and taught me, I don’t want to come across unthankful. But it can, and has been unhealthy for me mentally, which has caused me to act out a lot, which my agencies surely have noticed, and for that I’m sorry.

The impotence you feel when you have absolutely no saying in whether or not you’re working, is the most frustrating feeling ever. You’re constantly dependent on getting picked, and that can get very tiresome.

I believe that to maintain a healthy mind while modeling you have to A) have other financial endeavors and passions so you don’t feel dependent on modeling, or B) be a somewhat devil-may-care’ish kind of person who does not have many aspirations in life.

A Writer and a Businessman


What made you want to write “Runway Memoirs” and “Weight Loss With Intermittent Fasting”? 

N: Well, Runway Memoirs was actually mainly a rewrite of a series of blog posts I had written when I was living in Sydney and Seoul. I just needed the satisfaction of producing something, and writing was transportable and I was good at it.

I then used Runway Memoirs to learn how the Amazon Kindle store worked, which eventually lead to my publishing business.

With “Weight Loss with Intermittent Fasting” I just wanted to share the methods I used to drop all that weight when I started modeling. It was pretty easy, but keeping it off is another story entirely. I forget to use the principles myself a lot though, which is why I look very different in my portfolio from time to time. But if you stick to the principles it’s a very effective way of allowing yourself satisfying meals and getting in great shape at the same time.

Going In Depth


What do you think has been your biggest achievement so far?

N: I don’t really think I have any one achievement as such that I’m proud of. I’d say that it’s just my mindset and constant drive to become better at everything. I have a drive for achievement that I don’t see in a whole lot of other people. I’m also very critical, and I try not to make assumptions about things or events I wasn’t a part of. A lot of people hear one snippet of some statement or event, and they start making all these assumptions that the individuals involved are murderers and Nazis. I think it’s important to maintain a critical view and remain skeptic of everything we didn’t experience first hand, because we are fed so much bullshit through mass media every day.

That being said I have a shit load of flaws. I can get very annoyed with people when they don’t have the same aspirations as myself, and when they don’t take action on what they say they want to do. But you know; who am I to pass judgment on them? Some people want big fancy cars, I don’t, and some people just want a simple life with a wife and two kids, and everybody should totally respect that.


Where do you see yourself in the near future?

N: Well, I just got my own place in Copenhagen, which I’m really excited about. I had put off getting my own place for a while because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, and I couldn’t justify getting my own place with all the travelling I did. And I’m a massive mommas boy; I get a long very well with my mother and stepfather, which kept me there for a while.

In the near future I’ve built enough businesses to have become financially independent so I can pursue whatever creative endeavors I want, without having to bootstrap. I’m also keeping busy with my studies, whatever study that ends up being. I want to write more books, I want to try acting, I want to do stand up, I want to do a bunch of mushrooms, I want to be the best friend I can be, I want to be the best son I can be, I want to have a bunch of mind altering experiences, I want to teach and I want to learn. I’m in a hurry as you can see.


Do you think you’re a babe?
 
N: Fuck no. I try to distance myself as much as possible from this pursuit of being hot, that a lot of people are striving for. I think social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram can be super damaging to a lot of people’s sense of self-image. We’re constantly posting photos of all the amazing and fucking fantastic shit we’re up to, and how hot we’re looking in this and that outfit. Who the fuck cares?!?

As you can tell this is something that grinds my gears quite a lot. I feel kind of sad when I see “liked” photos from Instagram popping up in my Facebook feed, and it’s all just girls pouting their lips doing selfies. When I look back on some of the stuff I would post just a year and half back, I get kind of embarrassed.

What all the “normal” people don’t realize when they follow all the models and hot guys and girls, is that these people look just as shit as you do when they wake up. They have all the same self-image issues as you do.



     Even though most people know him for his looks, Nicklas is definitely a smart and talented man who is wise beyond his age. We have learned so much from him and we give our deepest gratitude for providing us with this opportunity. Thanks, Nick!
