<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 />

Yes. 2014 I will be staring in a new action martial art movie.<br />
This is all I can say for now.<br />
