So my friend was just casually walking on a street in Poznan, and suddenly some TikToker stopped him and asked if he could take some pictures of him and his outfit for TikTok. He said yes, the TikTok was posted and went viral (it got like 1,5m views). So a scout from my current agency saw the video and went to my friend&#8217;s Instagram (which was tagged in comments), where he had posted a picture of him and me looking at each other. I guess the scout thought that I might be interesting, so he went on my Instagram and DMed me.
