Here's Alek's full interview
Alek, welcome to Stunning Men and a big thank you for
taking the time to do the interview.
Could we start off with talking a little about yourself and your background?
You live in Joondalup, Western Australia but are actually from Italy.
Yes I’ve been in Australia roughly 2 years. I
arrived in Sydney on 27 April 2011.
How did you get into modelling?
I was asked to contact Chrystofa from CSA Models.
I spoke to him and went for an interview. After we spoke for a while, it was
decided that I would be perfect to be a male model on their roster. I am now a
fulltime model.
What do you enjoy the most about it?
Modelling is something that I have always inspired to
do since I was kid. I can do something that I really like and I can prepare my
body and mind for a great experience. One of the best things about modelling is
the opportunity to travel around the world, working with amazing fashion
designers and labels but important also, the chance to meet exciting people and
make new friendships.
How do you
prepare before a photoshoot?
I have a diet plan, workout regime, gym sessions and I practise
my model looks and stance. I also look for imagery that would suit my style of
body and overall appearance.
You have a great physique. How do you keep in shape
and healthy? Do you practise any sport?
Well, I
go to the gym 4 times a week. I run, ride a bike, I play indoor volleyball and
eat and sleep well. In fact I like getting involved with all types of sport.
What are your top three favourite gym exercises and
why?
Chest
press, abs and legs training. I consider the chest press really important to
have a good mass density on your upper body especially in my job.
If you
want to be a professional model the abs are the key of your body, you need to
be fit and give the best that you can from your body to the camera.
When you train
the legs you need to know that you start to warm up the biggest muscle in your
body; this means that you really need to be focussed during your work out and
successfully perform the repetitions.
What’s the best form of cardio for you?
Well in
my personal experience I prefer to ride a bike than running and do ten minutes
of skipping. Normally I do my interval training during the morning no longer
than half hour and I bring my heart rate to the highest level without any breaks.
How do you keep motivated?
The
motivation is the critical point in our body. You need to get better every day,
you want to see results and muscle growth. At the same time you want to have
the best definition than you can show. To be prepare for all these elements during
my training I use my special playlist and a good gym mate for support you.
How do you fit training and fitness into
your life? Is it a difficult thing to achieve?
For
me it is simple because it’s what I feel, it’s my passion, part of my life. Every
day I am curious to see what level I can take my body to.
You are a very good looking guy – what do you think is your best
asset?
To be honest I don’t have any idea; I leave the
comment to my fans.
And if you could change one thing about your body, what would that be?
I would like blue eyes.
How do you approach a challenge?
Without
stress. I focus on the job ahead and I know how capable I am and how committed
I am.
What
do you do in your down time?
Listen to music, spend good times with my buddies, travel and enjoy life!
Listen to music, spend good times with my buddies, travel and enjoy life!
Do you have any role models? People who inspire you?
I don’t
have a special idol but I have a lot of support from my brothers, friends,
other models I work with and my agent Chrystofa.
Now a few quick fun questions if we may? Do you
think you are a good date?
I don’t
have any complaints (smile).
What do you think is the secret to a good
relationship?
Trust,
honesty, communication, passion, supporting each other and great sex!
Are you a brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
I am a
brief guy.
What do you listen to on your iPod?
I like
commercial music but also classical like Boccelli.
Your favourite song/piece of music to play while training/running?
I like
songs by 50 cent for example “Candy Shop” or “In Da Club”.
What kind of movies do you like?
Action
movies, fantasy, true stories, romantic ... movies that can inspire me.
What can’t you live without?
To be
honest everything in my life goes hand in hand and it’s all about control and
balance.
You wouldn’t know, but I’m very good at ...
Ironing
and Sewing.
I’m just not very good at ...
I don’t
like been stuck in traffic, that’s why I love motorbikes.
What’s the best thing ever invented?
Protein
Shakes and Gym!
What three words describe you best?
Driven,
passionate and a great listener.
One last question Alek, where do you see yourself
and what would you like to be doing in 10 years time?
In ten
years time I would like to be a famous actor, an international model, an ambassador
for some kind of Green Company that makes the world a better place to live in
for my family and future generations. I also want to help those that are less
fortunate than myself.
Alek, it has been a real
pleasure to interview you! Thank you for your time and for being a good sport. All
the best for the future!
It’s been a pleasure to be involved with and be part of your website.
