I love books way more than movies or any other form of media. Though I must clarify this is only specific to fictional books. I love them way more than movies. With reading fictional books, it feels like a movie is playing in my head.<br \/>\n2. I can hum and beatbox simultaneously. However, I do a horrible job at both things. But hey, that\u2019s just raw talent waiting to be refined.<br \/>\n3. When I was younger, I used to hear that models were scouted while they were out and about, and really wanted that to happen to me. So when I would go out to the mall, for example, I would wear super cute outfits and try to make my face calm and controlled to attract a potential scouter. That never worked out for me, and I would feel very disappointed going home without a scouter approaching me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m really passionate about creating spaces for people who are different &#8211; who aren&#8217;t the same as everyone else. After all, we&#8217;re different human beings with different thought processes and different upbringings. Why are we all expected to look and act the same way and get shunned when we try to do our own thing (especially if it&#8217;s not hurting others)? This just makes for a uniform society which is just absolutely boring. We&#8217;re made to be different and born to be different. So, I believe wholeheartedly that there should be space for different races, different bodies, neurodivergent people, and disabled people in society, in everyday life, and in the modeling industry. Heaven knows that if I had seen more women who looked like me when I was younger in the media being portrayed as beautiful and desirable, I would be 5x more confident than I am now. And everybody deserves to feel beautiful and confident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was just another day, and I was scrolling on TikTok as one does. I saw a video from my current agency stating that they were accepting new models and to send your digitals and other info to their email. And after approximately 3 hours of trying to film a decent walking video and take digitals, I sent them to the agency&#8217;s email address. I checked my email in the evening and screamed for joy when they expressed interest and &#8220;loved my look,&#8221; and the rest was history!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"modelname\">Phillip<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-69422 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham02.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Phillip Pham\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham02-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-69430\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-69430'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Phillip Pham\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham01.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Phillip Pham\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham01-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-69431\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-69431'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Phillip Pham\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham03.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"courtesy Phillip Pham\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-3\" data-magnific_type=\"gallery\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/newfaces\/i\/2023\/02\/mdcselects_phillippham03-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-69429\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-69429'>\n\t\t\t\tcourtesy Phillip Pham\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong><br \/>\nPhillip Pham (<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/phillippphillip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@phillippphillip<\/a>) \u2014 185 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 Vietnamese from Prague, Czech Republic \u2014 born September 18th \u2014 he\/him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/clique-models\">CLIQUE MODELS (Prague &#8211; mother agency)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1.

I have been raising awareness about these issues for the past 3-4 yrs now, and it&#8217;s something that we all should be worried about. Whether it&#8217;s plant-based food, cleanliness, saving soil, or river rejuvenation. We are all getting affected by it, and it&#8217;s just a start. I have been volunteering since last year in the biggest movement, &#8216;SAVE SOIL&#8217;, as there&#8217;s now a thing called &#8216;soil extinction&#8217;.

I don\u2019t perform on a stage as often as I once did, so people that I have met recently outside of the dance community are occasionally surprised to learn that about me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are you super interested in that most people have never heard of?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m quite into typography from the 80s and 90s.
