How discovered:
I was scouted by D1 in London, on Leicester Square, while I was on a holiday. There was like this new Twilight movie, so one of the big theaters had this crazy big red carpet event. So my family and I just stopped by to see what was going on – and suddenly this girl from a model agency asked me if I was a model

Favorite things:
My iPhone, my best buddy and travelling

Favorite music, band:
I listen to pretty much everything besides from Rock and Metal. And my all-time favorite song is Tear It Down – Safia Remix!

Favorite movie, tv show:
I love tv-series, especially Breaking Bad, Prison Break, The Walking Dead, Suits – and stuff like that

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
Favorite designer is definitely Acne! I also like a couple of Danish brands like Rains and Soulland. My favorite fragrance is a Tommy Hilfiger I got some time ago – makes me smell like my father.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I would probably be studying some more, and working for Falck (a rescue, assistance, healthcare and safety services company)

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
Hmm that’s a tough one… but I guess it would be peeing in the shower.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Definitely going to London back in October. It was my first time travelling alone and I had an amazing trip. I stayed at this house way out in East London with 8 other models, and we ended up being like this little family. Especially Jimmy, Tom and me from the house were a dangerous threesome that week!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
Boat trips in the canals of Copenhagen, during the summer with a cold beer and a couple of my mates.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I would love to work for a brand like Burberry again. They were super kind to me and I had a great experience last time! I would also like to work for a brand like Acne or Louis Vuitton

Place you would love to visit:
Hawaii and South America – I would especially love to experience the jungle.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’m currently looking for an apartment, for me and my friend. – I’m pretty obsessed with that!
