Вэлкам ту зе клаб Дэвид Ганди! (18+)

-Welcome back David! It's such a honor to have you here again, let's start it off: I know you have been very busy since our first interview (September 2008), please share with me some of your recent and upcoming projects.

It's been a long time since 2008 a lot has happened since then. I have been working on new campaigns with D&G recently a mens wear for this year and some editorial work.

-On the fashion industry: who are the people that you really have loved to work with?
Working wise I have enjoyed working with Stefano he is a eccentric genius. To him clothing is an art form that he takes seriously he tells a story with his collections each time he shows them to the world. D&G have been a second family to me it feels like home when I am working with them. A good mate of mine is Mario Testino his work is capturing and quite stunning he knows how to create such masterpieces on film my time with him was really incredible. Helena Christensen she is a beauty with class to match her incredible charms. I worked with her on a short film called "Away We Stay". I said before in many interviews I wouldn't get into acting unless something interesting came along and I was offered this role in the film it was different so I didn't pass up the opportunity .

-You're obviously a very successful model, what do you think made you stand out among other male models?
I think it was my overall look I wasn't like other male models waif like super skinny I was taller and bigger muscular plus I have been asked if I was Italian or even from Spain before when I am actually English. To some people its a surprise with my blue eyes and dark skin and dark hair I get people thinking I'm from somewhere else when I tell them I'm actually from Essex U.K. They are somewhat surprised .

-Some tips for your new male models, how can they present themselves on casting in best light? What to do, what not to do?
First off don't be arrogant that is something I want to throw out in the field to new coming male models. I have seen some fresh face male models who act like they own the world and its overall not a good attitude to have. In the long run clients will see you as arrogant and full of yourself so it will turn them off of you and not want to work with you. You should go into the modeling world as yourself and being a proper gentlemen acting appropriately. Don't try and change who you are to get somewhere clients will love to see the true you and happy to work with what they see in front of them.

-When it comes to shape, female models are expected to be skinny, what about male models, what is expected of them?
When I first got into the industry there was a standard for male models to look a certain way. They had to be super skinny and really tall I was tall but I never fit into the mold of super skinny male models. I was too tall and bigger suits had trouble fitting me because I was so muscular and I was told to lose weight. I never did instead I just kept getting bigger working out being healthy and I sort of changed the way they see male models in the industry. Now most male models are just expected to be in shape have abs and muscles basically eye candy for people out there to put it in easier terms. Women in the industry I think have it somewhat harder standards the men its a little simpler.

-How do you do to stay in shape? Do you work out, diet or you don’t need any of that?
I workout every day when I have time I like to run around the bloke of my flat where I live when I am at home its peaceful. I love jumping rope and doing crunches if I need to get in super shape for work like when I did the commercial for Light Blue I had to go to my trainer and worked out a storm to get in tip top shape for the campaign. Usually I just eat a well balanced diet and workout.

-Are you a "fashionista" David? What do you like to wear when you are not working as a model?
When I'm not working I prefer to wear a shirt and blue jeans with a hat and comfy shoes. Casual is how I love to be when I am not working I enjoy wearing my Aviator D&G jacket I got as a gift before its my favorite jacket.

-I know you've traveled around the world, where would you like to live other than where you do now?
I love to travel to Milan for my work its a beautiful place I also enjoy going to tropical places to get some sun and enjoy the beaches.


-Who do you hang out with? Do you have any friends among male and female models?
I have some mates in the industry but I prefer to hang out with my close mates I have known for years. I grew up with who I keep in contact often when I am not working I go and have some coffee and catch up its lovely to relax and have a pint with your mate at a pub.
