modelling
Modelling wasn't a passion of mine, so that made it get old kind of quickly. I was getting very frustrated.

The Scottish Highlands are incredible. There seems to be magic and poetry everywhere.

I was at a restaurant in Glasgow, and I was walking down the stairs. A woman passed me and said, 'Oh my God, what are you doing here?' I didn't know who she was, and I was like, 'Sorry?' She goes, 'Oh no, sorry, I follow you on Twitter. I just didn't expect to see you here.'
across enter features festival happens incredible men plains race saw tradition
I saw a documentary on the Naadam festival that happens in Mongolia during the summer.

It's incredible to think that this is a tradition that has been going on for centuries.
I would've been a really big silent movie star.
