What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
There is a lot of things… I’ve always wanted to join Cirque du Soleil and I also wanted to be a professional soccer player or an architect. There are a lot of things… but modeling is also one of them.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
Haha, I can listen to all kinds of music, I could enter a heavy metal concert and still love what I hear. I could go to a jazz club and still enjoy the music.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
All the teams I’ve been working with have all been so kind to me! All the teams at the jobs have just been smiling and giving me such good support, I feel so honored to be working with guys like that! Specially the guys at Unique.

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
Just the feeling of home. I sometimes miss the language when I’m traveling, but overall I love traveling. And I love traveling around Denmark, I’ve been at 2 boarding schools for the last 2 years. And it has made me much more mature. Even though Denmark is a small country it got a lot of personality! I love the freedom in Denmark, to say whatever you want and do whatever you dream of!

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Hmmm, I’m pretty new in this modeling world, but I’ve always liked the Calvin Klein commercials… and I’ve been following @jordenkeith on instagram, and he’s pretty wild. Who would I walk for? It could be amazing to walk for Versace or Balmain?

Place you would love to visit:
Anywhere, it would be Greece, the pictures and the history I’ve seen and read are so sick and such beautiful stories and amazing pictures.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’m currently obsessed with learning a special handstand we are using for our gymnastics team! Very important stuff!
