<strong>LIVE</strong>: Where in England are you from?<br />

Hi <strong>LIVE</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> and thank you so much for blessing<br />

me with the opportunity to grace the cover for the New<br />

Year.<br />

I was born in Blackpool, England May 18th thanks<br />

to my wonderful parents Martin Joseph Ashton and<br />

Wendy Ashton xx<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong>: What was life like for you there?<br />

Life in Blackpool was tough. I was always trying to find<br />

ways of making it out of there which was why I chose the<br />

American Dream. The land of the free and opportunity.<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong>: So when did you first become a model?<br />

I began modeling at the age of 18 years old. I was<br />

scouted in a modeling competition and then I continued<br />

to pursue and stay consistent. I began modeling<br />

in London, Miami and California for fitness and fashion<br />

magazines.<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong>: What was your first model shoot like?<br />

My very first modeling shoot was in Miami after competing<br />

and winning Mr. Model Universe.<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong>: What is it like being an Abrocrombie model and<br />

working with Bruce Weber?<br />

Working with Bruce Weber and shooting for Abercrombie<br />

& Fitch has to be one of the highlights of my career.<br />

It was such an honor and blessing to be flown out to Miami<br />

and shoot for one of the biggest fashion designers<br />

and photographers in the world.<br />

Sure. I just played a big roll for the movie Christmas in the<br />

City with Ashanti, Shanola Hampton and Ashley Williams,<br />

that aired on The LifeTime Channel. It was a lot of fun to be<br />

in a Christmas movie and I look forward to working on many<br />

more in the future.<br />

<strong>LIVE</strong>: Any future rolls you can tell us about?<br />

Yes. 2014 I will be staring in a new action martial art movie.<br />

This is all I can say for now.<br />

My plans for 2014 are to continue to succeed and climb<br />

higher than ever before. I would also like to be happily married<br />

and begin a beautiful family.<br />
