Interview w/ QUEM

Surfer by nature and model by chance, this can be considered a brief description of Marlon Teixiera, the guy of 1,89 meters and 20 year who won over the world of fashion, exhaling the sensitivity and charisma typical of Brazilians. Discovered at 16 years by two managers of the agency Way, he left the beaches of Balneario Camboriu, in Santa Catarina, to model for the first time on the runway for Dior. In four years of this career, Marlon starred in a campaign for the brands Armani, Custo Barcelona, Triton, Blue Man, worked with top models like Lara Stone and Natalia Vodianova and was clicked by the most renowned photographers for the most important magazines in the world. Currently, he lives alone in New York, and is one of the most successful Brazilian models occupying the 35th spot on Models.com. Marlon was in Sao Paolo to launch the perfume Fuel for Life, of the Italian brand Diesel, where he is poster boy and spokesman, on the occasion he spoke with QUEM, in one of the suites of the Hotel Fasano. Check out the important exerpts of the interview.

The beginning:

“the beginning was complicated because I felt alone, I didn’t speak English and missed home, the beach and my friends.” The first time I traveled by plane was to model. I never heard of the brands I was being photographed for. I adopted little by little and already thought of giving up. But since the beginning I had a lot of luck. Today, I live alone and pay for my bills; I went from being a boy to a man from day to night.”

Shyness:
“I have to overcome my shyness. I can only let go in front of the camera because I forget about everything. If I remember the photographer and the people in the studio, it won’t go smoothly.”

Success:
“I never thought I was good- looking. I thought that to be a model, you had to look like a prince and I have nothing to do with that. It’s complicated to say what brought me to success. But in this profession you have to be yourself and be very professional. That’s what the client wants.”

Transformation:
“Certainly, I’ve matured, but continue to my true values: love, simplicity and humility. In these four years, I’ve learned things that would take twenty years for me to learn if this all didn’t happen. This is the greatest thing about this profession. “

Sign: Virgo

Three things you can’t live without: “surfing, kissing and eating.”

What does not come off of your iPod? “Jimi Hendrix, the Doors and Collective Souls.”

One food: “Dulche de Leche ice cream”

Movie:
“A Clockwork Orange. I liked it because of the actor’s performance, making us love the villain.”

Book: “Coracao de Diamante, by A.H. Almaas. I was scared of reading this book, which changed my life.”

Actor: “Johnny Depp.”

Actress: “Jennifer Aniston.”

Would marry: “the model Natalia Vodianova.”

Idol: “My mom is the inspiration of my life. She is a fighter, an incredible woman.”

A place:
“Canto de Morcego, on beach Brava, in Itajai, Santa Catarina.”

Philosophy of life:
“Respect the others and give value to the good and simple things in life.”

Well that's a great shot !! 50 sexiest brazilians sounds really nice .
 
Only 19 years old and with a dreamy well-tanned body, the Brazilian model Marlon Teixeira is the one to follow, not only on Twitter but also on the runway. Despite his youth, Marlon already began his modeling career four years ago with a campaign for the brands Armani, Custo Barcelona, Triton, Blue Man and many more, gaining a reputation in the business.

He has worked on advertising campaigns for brands such as Dior Homme, Sergio K, Diesel and American Eagle. The camera loves him and big designers saw this natural gift, so with no doubt in my mind that Marlon has a promising future in the fashion industry, I decided to figure out more about The Man.

He is currently working with Wilhelmina Models, the prestigious New York-based agency and he kindly accepted an email interview:

Toonari Post (TP:( We saw you first in the Fuel For Life Denim collection commercial, did you attend casting or were you already a name in the business?
Marlon Teixeira (MT:( I started this job when I was 16 years old, I was a kid, I was a boy. I live alone and pay for my bills and I went from being a boy to a man from day to night. Working for Fuel for Life Denim was exciting, I enjoyed it so much!

TP: Modeling seems to be big names, photo shoots worldwide, cool parties — has your life in show business motivated you to pursue a celebrity career or a more common one in the future?

MT: This “world” is so beautiful but also so stressful. I think that success should come alone and [...] in my case has arrived because I was myself even when people around me changed.

TP: Social media adds additional pressure on celebrities — How are you handling this new progressive fame?

MT: I’m very happy to have fans, or people who simply love you and love your work. The media will talk — many times the media writes articles [that] I do not like [...] but accept. I love love, and I love the person [who] right now is next to me.

TP: What’s with the “kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk” on twitter, is that “the Marlon motto”?

MT: Absolutely not! “kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk” is an expression of Brazilian origin and means to laugh!

TP: What are you working on right now; a new commercial or something exclusive?

MT: I’m working on many projects, I always want more work and luckily for me, I have a lot of work. I’m considering what to do and what not to do.
For the moment it’s all a little secret!

TP: I’d like to finish the interview with a Chinese Portrait; “if you were ….” And you reply. If you were a “city”, ”a season”, “an object”, “a sport”, “a meal”, “a nightmare” and finally “a dream”.


MT:
City: Rio De Janeiro
Season: Summer
Object: White cake with cream
Sports: Surfing
Meal: Anything that is sweet
Nightmare: A murderess
Dream: History romantic.

Male models are not as well-known as female ones but I predict for the next decade that the young, masculine model generation will reverse the trend and with the growing sphere of social media, gain fame and new flavors in the fashion scene.
