I started modeling when I was three years old. I was signed with Ford Models, but after a few months my mom decided that I was happier playing instead of working. When I was twelve, my brother and I were stopped on the street in Manhattan by an agent and we decided to give it a shot again.

I liked modeling, because I loved the camera, loved missing school, loved going to different places, and I got to meet some interesting people. One time I did a shoot called "All in the Famiglia" for GQ magazine shot by Bruce Weber on the Jersey shore. There were all these exotic women and my brother and I were the two boys. We had an awesome day.

What always struck me as being weird was that on model shoots the adult women wouldn't even think twice about getting completely undressed in front of young boys. It was definitely one of the perks of modeling.

One day when I was around twelve years old, I was leaving a shoot just as Giselle Bundchen was coming into the elevator. She stopped me and said (with her hot accent), "Oh cutie!" And I said, "No you cutie."
