interview<\/h2>\n

Name:<\/strong>
\nLucas Jayden Satherley<\/a><\/p>\n

Agency:<\/strong>
\nIMG (New York)<\/a><\/p>\n

Age:<\/strong>
\n21<\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong>
\n6’1.5″<\/p>\n

Instagram:<\/strong>
\n@lucasjsatherley<\/a><\/p>\n

Place of Origin:<\/strong>
\nI was born on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, but I\u2019ve basically lived in Brisbane my whole life.<\/p>\n

Ethnic Origin:<\/strong>
\nMy dad is Kiwi so he\u2019s from New Zealand. My mom is Australian and my grandmother is Australian, but my granddad is Filipino. She was like one of ten wives, which she didn\u2019t know at the time, so I\u2019ve got countless cousins I\u2019ve never met who all live in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Birthsign:<\/strong>
\nCancer<\/p>\n

How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI was scouted off Instagram by my mother agent. She was hassling me to come in on direct message. She messaged me quite a few times but I kind of ignored it because I couldn\u2019t think it was an actual thing. Then I looked it up and they actually had an office so I went in and she was really keen for me to try it. I was just about to leave for Europe on a holiday and she convinced me to do it so I did a test shoot and then signed with IMG.<\/p>\n

What were you doing before you started modeling?<\/strong>
\nI was working on buildings, doing bricklaying, working sixty hours a week in the sun just to save up to go to Europe and then that whole holiday I spent just working. The plan was to go to university this year.<\/p>\n

What do you think you would be studying?<\/strong>
\nI wanted to study psychology because I liked it, but I was going to study law because there\u2019s a job crisis in Australia. I\u2019ve known guys who have master\u2019s degrees in chemical engineering and they\u2019re working at McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m obsessed with art, all forms of art, just self-expression in general, but more so painting and drawing. I love surfing and being at the beach obviously. Ever since I started modeling, everything I used to do I don\u2019t get to do as much, so I don\u2019t get to go to the beach, but I do get to do art out here. I draw a lot of portraits of my girlfriend and we do a lot of writing and poetry.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI always listen to old\u00ad school bands like Nirvana, the Ramones, Radiohead, all those good ones, but then I also listen to a lot of rap like A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, the standard bunch.<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nMy favorite TV show would be Vikings. I think it\u2019s interesting because it hasn\u2019t really been done properly before. Everyone\u2019s doing zombies and it\u2019s kind of repetitive. I think the acting\u2019s really good in Vikings, and I know it\u2019s not totally accurate but I didn\u2019t really know anything about that whole era.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI have two favorite designers, Saint Laurent and Alexander Wang. A third would be Raf Simons.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nI say I\u2019d be studying at university, but I guess it\u2019s hard to gauge now, because once you start doing this job it opens so many opportunities and you meet so many people. Your perspective on what you want to do and the whole world changes almost completely, so if I had the same mindset as before that\u2019s what I\u2019d be doing but to be honest I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nSaying the word \u201clit.\u201d I love saying \u201clit\u201d but everyone makes fun of me for it.<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nIt would be with Mert & Marcus when we shot Vogue Italia at Margate. It was wild fun.<\/p>\n

You spent most of last year working in London, how was it?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d always been obsessed with London. London was like that city I grew up always wanting to go to. Everyone always wants to go to New York, but for some reason I was always obsessed with London. I always convinced myself that I was British. It\u2019s hard to explain, but I was so obsessed with London before I went there and it is still my favorite city in the world.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nI would say the Great Barrier Reef. Everyone always has a plan to go to Australia eventually \u2014 it\u2019s not at the top of the list, but it\u2019s always in there. People always go for Sydney and Melbourne and really if you\u2019re going to Sydney, it has the Opera House and the Bridge, but really it\u2019s just this tiny, tiny version of London. It\u2019s just a city with cool things in it, whereas the Great Barrier Reef, you\u2019ll never see nature that beautiful. And it\u2019s dying so I tell people to go there as quick as they can because you can literally see it when you go. You can see it\u2019s getting polluted and it\u2019s getting killed, so I think everyone is making a mistake by going to Sydney.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nAlexander Wang would actually be it. After I got scouted, two days later he picked me up for his campaign, he picked me himself and then two days later also for Balenciaga and I couldn\u2019t do them because they\u2019re both shot in New York and I didn\u2019t have a visa. But I saw him at his party last year and he remembered me, which was a good thing, and he knows I\u2019m here now so fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s quite a few. I would say two right now would be Thailand or Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nQuest Bars. Peyton and I eat countless amounts of those, like way too many.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong>
\nAs clich\u00e9d as it is, I would say be yourself. Especially in this industry, don\u2019t let anything get to you. You have to make sure you\u2019re still the same person. If I ever felt like I was losing myself, I would take a holiday and go home, because if you get caught up in everything and start changing yourself, it becomes a permanent thing. Change is permanent if you leave it for too long, so I would say just be yourself and don\u2019t ever change for anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
