FM: What is the hardest thing that a model has to do in his career, diet, a nude, or live hours in the gym?
ALM: Well the sacrifices you make, are to leave your friends and family, to forget having a normal life, the friends you make will always be different becouse of the continous traveling, diet and the gym, well sonner or later they become part of your daily routine.
