IN CONVERSATION|MAX GERALD
Name|Max Gerald
Age|19
Hometown|Leesburg, Virginia
How did you get discovered?
Like most models, I was occasionally confronted by people asked if I modeled. The inferences made by the questions gave me the confidence to follow through with an opportunity to visit an agency (Fusion) in New York City.
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Before modeling, I was taking classes and spending most of my time exploring different extreme sports with my best mates, like rock climbing.
People would be surprised to know that I...
am an introvert at heart, and an extrovert when I need to be.
What's your latest obsession?
Cooking and tasting the best of flavors. Lately I've been mastering my own recipes, inspired by old favorites and new exotic experiences I have had.
Your most prize possession?
I love my camera. My favorite quality is one of the lenses, a macro, which can make almost any shot extremely interesting for me.
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
When I was very young, my father was the main person that I learned how to copy and create my own identity. In many ways, he still is.
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
My mum, yesterday and everyday!
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Happy, Friendly and Sincerity
Describe your personal style:
Very simple. I prefer plain clothes without logos or writing, and wearing mostly t-shirts and jeans. My bathrobe and hiking boots are my favorite pieces of attire.
Your favorite place you have travel to:
My Grandmother's, when I was young. It's one of the few places in my memory that has always been sappy and cheerful.
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
A Clockwork Orange. I'm a huge Stanley Kubrick's fan, who isn't? Favorite scene: The psychology exam at the end, and obviously show signs that he's relapsed into psychotic behavior, he says, "I'm cured alright!"
Your favorite sport:
Sport: Karate and Jiu-Jitsu
Martial Artist: Bas Rutten
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?
Leesburg, Virginia—I would like to take you to the Great Falls and show you the water, rocks and trees. One of the most important part of the experience is to listen.
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
Kung Fu TV type show. Supremacy by Muse
Your wish for the remainder of 2015?
Successful and complete in everything I do this and next year!
