Current model of the month Julian Hennig fills us in on his discovery, first-time jitters as a model and helpful advise from the one and only Sean O’.

Where did you grow up?
Julian Hennig: I was born and raised in Berlin. After I turned seventeen, I moved to Oregon (USA) and graduated from South Salem high school before returning to Berlin.

Where do you live now?
Julian Hennig: I swing back and forth between Berlin and Frankfurt, but I prefer Berlin so that is where I spend nearly all of my free time.

How were you discovered?
Julian Hennig: I was found on Myspace by a photographer from Singapore named Skye Tan. He messaged me asking if I had ever considered [getting] into modeling. I thought he was joking at first. But eventually – after several inquiries – I followed his advice and went to VIVA MODELS in Berlin. I felt really misplaced and wasn’t sure they would even sign me. I flew to Paris three days later and VIVA is still my mother agency, so I guess I was wrong . I’d like to take this opportunity and say how thankful I am for their good work and support.

When did you actually start modeling?
Julian Hennig: All of this happened just prior to summer show season in Paris in 2007.

What were you doing before modeling?
Julian Hennig: I was still in school, just your average student. Fortunately school came easy to me most of the time so it was no problem missing classes here and there after I had started modeling.

What was your first major gig?
Julian Hennig: My first gig was the YSL show in Paris just a couple days after I was scouted and let me tell you, I was nervous as hell and walked like a stick, haha. Then I opened Dior the day after.

What was the most memorable season?
Julian Hennig: Even though I only did two shows during my first season (YSL & Dior), it was definitely the one I have the best memory of. I lived in a hotel on Champs-Elysees and felt like an alien among all the other models. Sean O. lived in the hotel room next to mine and showed me around Paris and explained the modeling business to me. Everything else is just a blurry clutter of great memories from all the other seasons.

What are you doing outside modeling?
Julian Hennig: Many things. Going out to fish and playing golf gives me great pleasure. I also do volunteering for the European University Viadrina as a student representative. Besides [that], I really enjoy going out to new bars and clubs in Berlin. My latest discovery from last weekend is a brand new little club called Asphalt in downtown Berlin (Mitte). Learning Portuguese is something else I just began and I would like to master.

How would you sum up your experience as a model?
Julian Hennig: I’ve met plenty of interesting and creative people, I would have never met if I [didn't start] modeling. Meeting those people and experiencing work all over the world with a different set of people on a day to day basis influenced my views and personality and made my life a lot more exciting.

If you were a superhero, who would you be?
Julian Hennig: Chuck Norris.

Describe your personal style.
Julian Hennig: I usually try to shoot for a laid-back casual style. Right now I love wearing my knitted wool jumper with raw jeans and rugged leather hiking boots.

What do you like to do for downtime on a typical day?
Julian Hennig: Afternoon naps are very underrated! I like to nap for half an hour or so if I can during the day. Other than that I enjoy watching soccer on TV or live and play some video games with friends every once in a while. Watching movies is also something I enjoy. I went on a date to watch “Gainsbourg” this week and thought it was the best movie in its genre (biography) I’ve seen this year so far.

List 10 things that annoy you.
Julian Hennig: My laziness, broken promises, washing dishes (just got a dishwasher, haha), flight delays & cancellations, narrow-minded people, complaints about things you can not change – like the weather, arrogance, socialists….thats about it

In all the places you visited, what was your favorite–why?
Julian Hennig: Uuhh, almost impossible to pick one. I very much love Oregon for its nature and because of all the great golf courses and fishing spots.

What were you like as a child?
Julian Hennig: Tough one. You should ask my mom…..or maybe not! Lets just say I always loved animals and had my own rabbit, aquarium, dog and turtle by the age of ten. I was already very sportive playing soccer, tennis and track and field.

Departing moment…tell a joke or share something interesting.
Julian Hennig: I would like to treat you to this great guide on how to make fire:
