David James Gandy is gorgeous. He’s famous for being the most successful male model (he’s represented by Select Model Management), and at a time when men seemed more comfortable than ever with being gazed upon by men (and women), we wondered what his secret was for staying relevant?
“I’m not sure there is any great secret,” he confesses. “Really, I analyzed the success of the female supermodels, and the platform they had used, and we went from there. It is about diversification and branding, making your own mark on something. It’s never about doing things better than anyone else, more about strategy and doing things differently to everyone else.”
Gandy is featured on the February 2015 cover of Out magazine, and we asked him a few of our other most pressing questions about his career, including why it’s OK for him to flirt with gay guys.
