-Hello
Miguel, I am really flattered to interview you, just to
start it off, though you're really well-known, please give
me some background information
I
was born in Ourense, Spain. I have been a big traveller
from a young age, and so wherever my work takes me,
its always important for me to stay connected to my
family and friends, no matter where we are. As a kid,
I lived in both Spain and Mexico. I also spent some
time living in San Diego, California. I started high
school in Spain, but then I did a study program in the
US. I did my Junior year of high school in Long Beach,
Mississippi, and did my Senior year in Hilo, Hawaii.
-When
did you start your modeling career and how old were
you at that time?
I first started working
in Barcelona, around the age of 21.
-What
was your first main assignment as a model?
My
first assignment was for AX S/S 2008. It was my first
big photo shoot and we got to fly to Ibiza. I'll never
forget the experience.
-What are your
favorite modeling assignments?
I love my
job and I enjoy all the different kinds of work that
comes my way. I really enjoy runway shows, but I especially
like editorial photo shoots. I love embracing
a character and getting the chance to play a role and
be a part of the story that is being created.
-You're
a very successful model, did you expect such a great
success?
In the beginning I had no idea,
I didn't really know much about modeling. I was a student
when I first began and to be honest I saw it as just
a chance to try and make some extra money. After
booking consistent work I realized that this was something
I could be good at, as long as I stayed positive and
disciplined. To this day, I continue to try my best
and I'm still very hungry for success.
-What
do you like to do in your free time if you have any?
Life
is beautiful, and when I have time off I try and live
mine at the fullest. I'm sure a lot of people my age
would say the same way but I love to travel and enjoy
the opportunity to see as much of the world as possible.
I learn the most in life from experiencing the world
through the eyes of others as. I love to learn about
new cultures and traditions to see how different parts
or the world work. It is my passion. When I want to
relax I like watching movies and soccer on TV.
Im also a big sports fan. I have played basketball and
soccer my whole life but I also love to surf and ski.
-What
is your favorite type of movie and do you remember the
last film you watched?
That's difficult.
I like action movies, thrillers, comedies, horror movies...all
kinds. The last movie I watched was on a plane to Chile
for a job, it was 'The Motorcycle Diaries,' such a beautiful
film.
-What is your favorite holiday destination?
South
Beach, Miami, I've had a lot of fun there working and
its always good to go back.
-How do you
keep in shape?
I've been playing sports
my whole life. I have always tried to stay in good shape
and try and train as much as possible. I run a lot.
-Thanks
Miguel for taking the time to reply to my questions, it
was a gift to me and my readers!
