Name|Oliver Beard
Age|21
Hometown|Brighton, England
How did you get discovered?
With some encouragement from our next door neighbor, and a little push from my parents, I walked into Premier Model Management in London and here I am!
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Before modeling, I was at college in Brighton studying physics and math. I wanted to pursue a career as a pilot.
People would be surprised to know that I...
am allergic to milk, it gives me headaches...so no ice cream for me :(
What's your latest obsession?
Films and food. Films because I want to become an actor now and food because I've been traveling a lot and recently trying food from different cultures has encouraged my appetite!
Your most prize possession?
When I was born, my parents gave me a little toy cow called Mr. Moo. He would follow me wherever I went all around the world, if I lost him, I wouldn't be able to sleep. He now sits on the shelf at home and it reminds me of my happy childhood.
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
Cara Delevingne, because she has more followers than me! :)
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
The crepe man near La Chappelle because he gave me one for free. French romance!

If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Brighton, England—Let's have a gin and tonic at midday at Browns, a cocktail bar I used to work at.
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
I will make a drama series on the life of my father, growing up in London. He has a wild and interesting life.
Your wish for the remainder of 2015?
A sun seeker thought to sail around the Caribbean with everyone I know. I will have a wild boat party!
