Here's Matthew's interview in full
Matthew, a warm welcome to Stunning Men and many thanks
for taking the time to do the interview.
Thank you, I appreciate you contacting me for
this interview.
Could we start off with talking a little about yourself and your background?
Sure. My name is Matthew Terry and I’m 21 years
old. I grew up in Perth, Western
Australia. I really enjoy living in Perth, it’s a small, cosy city but lively
enough to have a bit of fun. I live with
mates and I study Graphic Design.
How did you get
into modelling? Is it something you always wanted to
do?
Well, I’ve
always been a bit of a shorty, therefore I never really thought I had a shot at
modelling. So I didn’t ever consider it until early this year. I decided to
give it a shot and it turns out, there is work out there for short guys like
me!
What do you enjoy the most about it?
I enjoy
the opportunity to meet new people, discover new places, and experience new
things. There’s an element of excitement about it that I really love.
How do you
prepare before a photoshoot?
I usually do a short workout before a photoshoot.
Depending on how much time I have, I may do a full shoulder, chest, back and
arms workout, or I may just do a series of crunches, push ups and bicep curls.
I try not to eat a huge amount before a shoot, but
always something substantial.
How was your
shoot with Glamshot?
My first shoot for my portfolio was with Glamshot in
February this year. It went very well
and was impressed with the photos they produced. Since that first shoot my body has changed
and I have also obtained a different hairstyle, so just a couple weeks ago I
had a “mini-shoot” with Glamshot, just to update my portfolio. The mini-shoot
went really well and I’m really happy with the results.
Are you
interested in doing runway work?
I would love to do more runway work. The only runway
work I have done was at the Joondalup Fashion Festival earlier this year. Because of my lack of height I’m not likely
to get a lot of runway work but I’d love to experience a bit more of it.
What’s the best advice you were given about modelling, if any?
Don’t let it go to your head. And this is the
advice I would give to others too. It’s important to remember this advice
because I’ve seen some people disregard it and quite frankly, good people can
turn horrible within weeks if they let the attention go to their head.
Do you consider
yourself a fashionista? And what do you like wearing when you are not working
as a model?
I like to dress fashionably, but I don’t really
consider myself as a fashionista. I used
to always ask my older sister what I should wear as she was into fashion and
knew the “do’s and don’ts” so any fashion sense I have I owe to her!
You have a great physique. How do you keep in shape
and healthy? Do you do any sport?
I actually
don’t play any sport, as I’m actually quite uncoordinated! The only sport I
really enjoyed at school was soccer.
To keep
in shape, I just work out about 5 to 6 times a week and run 2km each day.
What are your top three favourite exercises at the
gym?
Cardio,
Chest and Abs. For some reason I find these three the most enjoyable. I have to force myself to do triceps, back,
etc.
What’s the best form of cardio for you?
Definitely
running. I enjoy listening to my music
as I jog/run, either on the treadmill or outside.
How do you keep motivated?
There has
been several health issues within my family and from a young age I decided I
wanted to keep fit and healthy, to help avoid any health problems down the
track.
How do you approach a challenge?
Usually when I’m faced with a
difficult decision or challenge, I like to break it down and take it one step
at a time. Breaking a tough challenge
into small easy steps makes it less daunting and can turn “impossible” into
“possible”!
Do you have any role models? People who inspire you?
Everyone in my life who support me and compliment
me in regards to my modelling, are the people who inspire me. If it wasn’t for
them I wouldn’t have much motivation.
Now a few quick fun questions if we may? Do you
think you are a good date?
I sure
hope so. I try to be outgoing, talkative, accommodating and carefree. Most of
my dates in the past have gone well so I must be doing something right.
What
do you do in your free time?
I like to
keep active so I don’t tend to watch TV etc when I have free time. I enjoy
going to the gym, or catching up with friends and the occasional pub crawl.
Are you a brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
Briefs,
all the way
What do you listen to on your iPod?
I’m into
a lot of different music, the only genres I don’t like are dubstep and heavy
metal. Some of my current faves are Maroon 5, Linkin Park, Boy & Bear and
Amy Meredith.
Your favourite song/piece of music to play while
running?
I like to listen to an Australian band called Amy
Meredith, their songs are upbeat and I find them a really good pace for
running.
What kind of movies do you like?
I really
enjoy action movies, something with fast cars, guns, and I really enjoy stories with a twist at the end.
What three words describe you best?
Outgoing, honest and open minded!
One last question Matthew, where do you see
yourself and what would you like to be doing in 10 years time?
In ten
years I see myself as owning my own Graphic Design Business and if I don’t age
too quickly, I would love to still be able to do modelling and promotional work
on the side. As well as owning my own
house and maybe a really expensive sports car. I would want to be married and
planning on having two children with the most amazing partner.
Matthew, it has been a real pleasure to
interview you! Thank you for your time and for being a good sport. Best of luck
for the future!
