If you think that he has the beautiful muscular physique of a swimmer, you would be right; Matéo is a competitive swimmer, holding French records and he is currently training for the next Olympic Games in 2020 and beyond.

First thing first ... how did you get into modelling?
I started modelling last July having been spotted by Angel'Prod. Later I met Tom Saint Clair during a shooting test. There was a very good feeling between model and photographer. I then signed with SC Models, mother agency.

You are fairly
new to modelling, but what do you like the most about it?
What I enjoy is the fact I'm having a good time with the photographer when there is good cohesion. I like to be caught on a photo trying to get the little detail that will make the difference. I also like to see the final result of photos and the interpretation of the moment by the photographer.

How
comfortable are you in showing off your physique in a shoot?
Being in a swimsuit 3 to 4 hours per day at the pool, I am very comfortable in public when it comes to showing my body (he flashes his gorgeous smile), so i enjoy showing my body, causing a reaction ... or not.

You are looking
incredible. How on earth did you get into such shape?
Having
spent really a lot of time training in the water and spending many hours at the
gym during the last 2 years (for swimming purpose), I managed to have quite an
athletic body. Swimming needs a good balance between strength/power and muscle
volume.
When did your passion for swimming start?
I started swimming at the age of 4 just to be able not to drown (Mateo's face lights up with another smile), then I got the taste for competition. Eventually I managed to improve and became today's French Champion of the 100m Medley for my category and I have several French records on 50m and 100m breaststroke.

Congratulations!
What keeps you determined and driven to train?
I have a very important goal; to qualify for the Olympic Games of Tokyo in 2020 or in 2024 in Paris and why not ... get a podium!

What sort
of diet do you have?
I eat naturally balanced and organic food in order to have the best nutrients, but i also supplement my diet with proteins.

If you
had a cheat day, what would be your favourite food?
I am very greedy, so i have a lot of favourite dishes (another cheeky smile). I'm keen on Asian food, American fast-food but also typical home-made French food, but I'm really excited to go to a renowned restaurant for is cuisine and treat myself!

Apart from swimming, what’s the best form of cardio for you?
I like running because it's an easy-access sport that only requires good sneakers, but I'm more interested in goinbg to the gym.

Now a few quick fun questions if we may? Do you think you are a good
date?
Well, yes i think. I am both devoted and involved in my relationships.

Your favourite song or piece of music to play while training or running?
I'm a fan of Timmy Trumpet for his electro sounds to get the cardio up. I also enjoy listening to old sounds such as 'Baby, i'm yours' by breakbot or 'Superstition' by Stevie Wonder, but I also like US Rap such as the music from Future or Kendrick Lamar.

Do you
have any other passions besides swimming?
Even if it is contracditory to modelling, i really like the old mechanic. I already reassembled entirely a 1987 Vespa that I bought in parts.

Food is also a passion, i can't live without eaing ... fortunately there is swimming to eliminate all calories (LOL).

Could you finish these two sentences for us? You wouldn’t know, but I’m
very good at …
... cleaning, doing laundry, ironing and cooking meals (Mateo gives us another huge smile)

One last question Matéo, what is your big dream?
my big dream would be to succeed in all I undertake and never lose my mind, I think anything is possible when you really believe in it and you give yourself every means to do it ...
