Darrell's interview in full
Darrell, welcome to Stunning Men and a big thank
you for taking the time to do the interview. You are currently living in London, UK ...
Yes, that’s
right I am also from London.
You have an incredible physique! How do you keep
in shape and healthy? Do you practise any sport?
I practice the art of discipline and dedication so if that's classed as
a sport yes! (Darrell laughs). I started my athletic career as a football
player and had various trials around the country. Unfortunately due to a knee
injury I had to quit and that is when I found the love I have for the weights
room.
What are your top three favourite gym exercises
and why?
I love Squats, deadlifts and chin ups. The reason I love these exercises
is because they challenge me mentally as well as physically and that is
something I love about my sport.
And what’s the best form of cardio for you?
I find the best way to get maximum benefits
from cardio for my conditioning is to mix it up between LISS (Low Intensity Steady
State) and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)!
Now how do you keep motivated?
I am motivated by weaknesses I have and even more motivated by improving
my mental resilience and pain threshold.
Is it
difficult for you to fit training and fitness into your life?
I find it very easy to fit training into my life because fitness is a
way of life for me! When people ask “how do you do it?” I reply “how don't you!”
We know that
you guys keep a healthy lifestyle ... but if you had a cheat day, what would be
your favourite food?
I like to change my cheat meal each week to keep it interesting but my
top 2 are Indian and Italian. I love a creamy dish!
How did you get into modelling?
I first started modelling after being scouted by a wellbeing company to
advertise their sports products on TV and from then on I decided it was
something I enjoyed so I continued. Then my passion grew an I then competed and
won my first show Miami Pro.
What do you enjoy the most about it?
I most enjoy the preparation that goes into a shoot, people don't see
the discipline and hours of training, food preparation and sacrifice we go
through. They just see the end result but, like I said previously, I love the
mental challenge!
Let’s talk
about photo shoots ... how do you prepare for them?
I am generally very strict and live a clean lifestyle so my preparation
is more focused on the peak week, which involves modified training disciplines
in terms of reps, sets, tempos and exercise selection while I play close
attention to depletion of water and carbohydrates.
I think you are a stunning looking guy? What do you think is your best
asset?
I don't really have a best asset but I do receive a lot of compliments
on my smile!
And if you could change one thing about your body, what would that be?
I wouldn't change anything about my body because it makes me who I am
and it is what the supreme blessed me with. I will just try to bring the best
out of what I have.
How do you
approach a challenge?
I approach
most challenges with an open mind & I like to think of them all firstly as
an experience to grow and develop.
Do you have any role models? People who inspire
you?
When I was younger my role model was the footballer Ian Wright!
Now a few quick fun questions if we may? Do you
think you are a good date?
I think I am a great date ... but my past dates may think otherwise!
(Darrell laughs)
What do you think is the secret to a good
relationship?
I think trust, honesty, passion, attraction, trust and loyalty are good
ingredients to a good relationship.
Are you a brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
I am a boxer man in the day ... brief in the night!
What do you listen to on your iPod?
I love dirty house music!
Your favourite song or piece of music to play
while training or running?
I don't have a favourite song but I do love Pharrells Happy at the
moment.
What kind of movies do you like?
I love action and comedy films but I also like the odd horror.
What can’t you live without?
I can't live without my Nan, I adore her as she has always been there
for me from day one.
Could you finish these two sentences for us? You
wouldn’t know, but I’m very good at …
... at writing poetry.
Now ... I’m just not very good at …
... at taking orders from others.
What three words describe you best?
Hardworking, outgoing and passionate.
One last question Darrell, where do you see
yourself and what would you like to be doing in 10 years time?
In ten years time I will be in my clinic helping people get fit mentally
and physically while I live with my family in clean environment somewhere HOT!
Darrell, it has been a real pleasure to interview you!
Thank you for your time and for being such good sport. All the best for the
future!
