Isaac by Murray Healy.
Isaac Weber, 18, from Colorado.
What's the best thing about where you're from?
The mountains.
And the worst?
The long winters.
What's going on in your life other than modelling at the moment?
I'm taking acting classes and studying the
film industry.
How did you become a model?
A former model, Kim Forbes, saw me bring my mom lunch one day at her work. My first job was for Sports Authority.
Has getting used to being photographed been easy?
Yeah - I'd say it is natural, I love it.
In what ways has life changed since you became a model?
In every way starting from the ground up, like where I live now to how I eat.
Do your friends treat you any differently now you're a model?
Yeah, some do sadly, but it is what it is.
Which brand would you like to model for that you haven't modelled for already?
If I had the choice, it would be Burberry. I think they pick great models.
What's the furthest place you've travelled to for a photoshoot, and what did you do there?
Florida, for Ralph Lauren's new cologne.
What's been your most challenging assignment so far?
A shoot for ELC Men's clothing in Colorado in the middle of a blizzard.
Where are you living at the moment?
My place is presently at the Ford Model apartment in New York. The best thing about it is how busy it is! It's always a fun place to be - I mean some crazy things happen here. Well then again it is New York. I don't think I've changed that much - if anything I'm a complete mess at all times, that's what it feels like.
Who do you live with?
It changes weekly - honestly, I can't spell some of their names if I tried.
You like running, is that right? What's the attraction for you?
Yeah, that's my favourite thing to do in the world. It's relaxing, and to break a great sweat feels good - gotta love endorphins!
What's the furthest distance you've run?
I don't have an exact distance but I was pushing four hours at a hard pace.
Have you run competitively?
Yes - my team won state in my senior year in the 4x400 relay.
Do you play any other sports?
Not now, but I play football, soccer, baseball and box in my spare time.
What was the last thing you bought from a fast-food chain?
Chipotle. Life is burritoful!
Describe the last dream that you can remember having.
Honestly? It was me convincing both my parents to let me have sole custody of my younger brother and sister. It was weird. True story.
What's the best present anyone ever gave you? And the best you ever gave someone else?
The best material present I have received is my little Netbook - perfect for travelling. I would think the best present I ever gave someone would be a nice stereo system.
Sneakers or shoes?
I'd say shoes - seems more classy to me.
Bath or shower?
Shower - I'm not used to taking baths.
Marvel or DC?
DC!!
Where's the best place for a good haircut?
Where my agent tells me - Alon Shalom in LA.
What did you have for breakfast?
This morning I had to skip
breakfast because I overslept.
What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
What time is it!??!
Where are you right now as you're answering these questions?
I am in the apartment, talking to the crowd and listening to whoever is playing guitar.
What's the wildest theme-park ride you've ever been on?
I might have to say that sling that swings over the Royal Gorge but if that doesn't count then the Terminator ride in Six Flags California.
What do you drive?
A 1985 Toyota pick-up truck in many colours of rust. I chose it because I didn't want a hand-out from my parents for a car.
What would you drive if money were no object?
I'd have my truck still, just fix it up.
What's the best score you've ever had on a videogame?
I beat Mario.
What makes you angry?
When I mess up. I don't really get mad except at myself.
What makes you laugh?
I love to laugh, sorry to be vague but I laugh at a lot.
Is there a book, film or TV programme that had a big effect on your life?
There is actually: the book I Kissed Dating Goodbye.
Have you ever worn anything that got you into trouble?
Yeah...I went to a private school, and one day my shirt read 'I wish I was a monkey so I can throw poo at you'.
Do you play any instruments?
I played the flute for many years, and have started guitar in the last year.
What do you like to listen to?
A lot, but I love Snow Patrol, Aerosmith, The Classic Crime, Linkin Park and Anberlin.
When did you last cry?
On the flight to California from New York.
What's in your pockets?
A Burts Bee's chapstick and $2 in change.
Is there anything that is guaranteed to send you to sleep?
Yeah - when my hair is played with or my back is lightly scratched.
Who was your first celebrity crush and when?
Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap, when I was like five or six.
What's your favourite item of clothing?
I love my jeans jacket - I wear that thing religiously.
What was the last item of clothing your mom bought you?
Some cool loafers in May last year.
