Q&A with Model Evans Nortey:

1) How did you get into the industry, and what was your first job?

My first paid hand model job was playing Mr T for a Snickers campaign.

My favourite campaign was for Pricewater House Coopers commercial. This was director by Noah Conopask, I had to play a champion weightlifter and we filmed this for two days in Prague where I was running around the city, which was fun, and then I had to lift heavy weights in this warehouse gym. The setup was incredible and best experience working as a model.

3) Any advice to new faces?

Be patient and stay focused.

4) Do you have a beauty routine?

I keep it simple by using cocoa butter for my beauty routine.

7) If you weren’t a model what would you be instead?

A professional athlete.

8) If you could only take 3 things with you to a desert island, what would they be and why?

I would take jar of Vaseline because i can use it for my body and hair. I would take a large bottle so i can use to drink fresh water. i would take my portable shaver because i dont want to grow a beard or have hairy armpits
