Model of the Month | Sam Webb — Interview, Part I

Sam Webb kicked off his career with a humor­ous bout of jeal­ousy and the rest is his­tory. From Birm­ing­ham to a home with Lon­don pre­mier agency Select, Sam had some doubts about this mys­te­ri­ous field called mod­el­ing, but with a great set of genes and an end­less charisma, the path to suc­cess came easy.

Where did you grow up?

Sam Webb: In sunny Birm­ing­ham in England!

How were you discovered?

Sam Webb: Dis­cov­ered in Birm­ing­ham in my home­town when Dou­nia my now agent stopped me with my girl­friend! My ex thought she was hit­ting on me! I had never been to Lon­don or even knew that men mod­eled! Ha!

…

When did you start modeling?

Sam Webb: When Select invited me to Lon­don! Didn’t want to do it! But then I thought I’ll give it a try and see London!

What were you doing before modeling?

Sam Webb: I was at uni­ver­sity and work­ing part-​​time on a build­ing site, dig­ging holes! But I was train­ing to be a boxer like my dad!

What was your first major gig?

Sam Webb: I sup­pose it was the ss06 Dolce show! I had never done run­way before! I was super embarrassed!
