Life of Successful Model<br />
Chris Kightley<br />
Name?<br />
Chris Andrew Kightley<br />
Where are you from?<br />
I am for Tamworth,<br />
How old are you?<br />
23.<br />
What made you consider modeling?<br />
To be honest, nothing really consider me choosing modeling. I<br />
got scouted while I was working in Costa coffee...I didn’t think<br />
of it really.<br />
When was this?<br />
This was four years ago over the summer in Essex.<br />
How old were you when you did your first shoot?<br />
16 actually when I think about it. I wasn’t a real model then<br />
though. I did a shoot for Bliss, it’s like a 16-year-old teenage<br />
magazine in England, it’s quite embarrassing but they paid me<br />
50 pounds haha!<br />
I bet you were stoked by that?<br />
oh yeah! I was well stoked, I kept on calling the editor every<br />
week about when it was coming out, I bet she was well sick<br />
of me haha. Now I don’t care if I’m in Italian vogue or GQ<br />
magazine honestly.<br />
What is the scariest thing of being a model?<br />
Waking up one day and realizing you are getting old.. probably...or<br />
your first wrinkle haha. I don’t really know...that’s the<br />
best I can come up with.<br />
Seeing you on big billboards for example River Island, When<br />
did you realize you are becoming to have a more successful<br />
career as a model?<br />
I didn’t realize really just until a couple of years ago before I<br />
did River Island and as well as Burton. I wasn’t serious at all<br />
about it before.. but since I was booking big jobs and editorials<br />
all around the world, I realized it is a career and there is<br />
a lot more jobs to come and campaigns. So now I’ve taken it<br />
very seriously.<br />
