Hi Guillaume, thanks for accepting  this interview! When did you decide to become a model and how did you get into modeling?Guillaume Campanacci, male model

Hey Edo, I started to think about it 1 year and a half ago. I was done with my engineer studies and I was starting to search for a job...But what my frends were doing in life didn't seem that exciting and I wanted to see the world. So I went to a model agency, Hourra Models, in the south of France. The owner, Eric Lafont, made me do my first test with Fred Goudon, the photographer of 'Les dieux du stade', a famous calendar of the French rugby team...This is how I started and since then I'm travelling the world with my new job...


-What kind of assignments, as a model, do you prefer?

For sure tv commercials, I feel so much better in front of the video camera than the camera...and I am very commercial as they say, not fashion...so I mostly do tv commercials.

But runways are fun...being in the backstage, feeling a bit of pression.

-What do you like most about modeling? What do you like least?Guillaume Campanacci, male model

The best part is traveling the world. Since I'm modeling I went to Greece, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain and I'm going to Miami in 2 weeks!! And of course the easy life, meeting a lot of people, free time, and lots of parties...

For the bad points maybe the superficiality of certain peole but actually not that much, I guess there are assholes everywhere.


-Tell me about your modeling experiences so far.

I did some catalogs (Greece and France), many tests, I'm part of the book Sunday Morning by Fred Goudon, some runways in Asia and Barcelona, some print commercials like Canon, Auchan or Dockers,  some video clips, and some tv commercials: Cosmote, Champion and  Vodafone in Greece, Sveltesse and Maja perfume in Spain...


-Do you have any other plans besides modeling? Would you like to pursue acting as a career?

I have many plans, using my engineer degree, maybe not, doing a MBA in  USA, making up my business...for the acting career I would love to but I'm afraid I don't have the necessary talent ;)

-I am sure people consider you an attractive man, how important is it for a model?

You work if you seduce the client so it s part of the job...but I just keep being myself, I don't try to play a role.


-How would you describe yourself? Are you an optimistic person? Guillaume Campanacci, male model

Yeah very optimistic, it's important in that job especially cause you never knows how tomorrow is gonna be.


-How do you spend your free time?

Sport, dreaming, watching movies, internet (too much thanks to facebook and myspace), reading...


-Thanks again G, my final question: do you have any special dream for the future?

I don't ask much just an incredibly full, happy, funny, amazing life for me and the people I love.

Thanks Edo!
