WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO BEFORE YOU START YOUR DAY?
I TAKE A COLD SHOWER & DRINK HALF A LITER OF WATER.
WHERE DOES YOUR DRIVE & WORK ETHIC COME FROM?
PLAYING PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AS A TEENAGER TAUGHT ME TO WORK HARD & AND KEEP MY GOALS IN MIND!
TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU WERE DISCOVERED. DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE A MODEL?
AFTER SPENDING A YEAR IN LOS ANGELES AT 16, I DECIDED I WOULD GIVE THIS MODELING THING A TRY, AFTER BEING SCOUTED MULTI TIMES WHILE SHOPPING IN THE U.S. BACK IN GERMANY I WALKED INTO AN AGENCY AND SIGNED WITH THEM HALF AN HOUR LATER.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HADN´T BECOME A MODEL?
I AM SUPER INTERESTED IN NUTRITION AND FITNESS. SO I´D PROBABLY STUDY IN THIS FIELD.
HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY FEEL ABOUT YOUR MODELING CAREER?
MY FAMILY & FRIENDS ARE GREAT.
I THINK SOMETIMES THEY STILL DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS A "REAL" JOB BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS EXCITED AND VERY SUPPORTIVE.
YOU`RE CURRENTLY LIVING IN LONDON, WHERE IS HOME TO YOU?
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE! OVER THE PAST YEARS I´VE BEEN MOVING A LOT AND HAVE BEEN LIVING IN MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. FOR ME, HOME IS WHERE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE. I GREW UP IN MUNICH, SO THIS WILL ALWAYS BE HOME FOR SURE. I LOVE TO GO BACK AND SPEND TIME WITH MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS THAT I'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS AND YEARS. LATELY, I FELT MOST AT HOME IN BERLIN, I HAVE A VERY GOOD FRIEND THERE AND ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LIBERAL VIBE OF THE CITY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY DREAM CLIENTS?
GIORGIO ARMANI, MOSCHINO, GUESS, TOM FORD & CALVIN KLEIN, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FAVORITES OF MINE. BOOKING ONE OF THEIR CAMPAIGNS, WOULD DEFINITELY BE A DREAM COME TRUE.

“ CARBS ALL DAY •
I FEEL THE BEST WHEN I EAT PASTA OR RICE! “
• LINUS WEBER •
WHAT DO YOU DO TO STAY IN SHAPE?
CARBS ALL DAY LONG, HA HA! I FEEL MY BEST WHEN I EAT PASTA & RICE. HONESTLY, I DONT FOLLOW A STRICT DIET. I JUST WORK OUT 6 TIMES A WEEK AND MAKE SURE I HIT THE GYM HARD, EVERY TIME!
DO HAVE ANY ROLE MODELS WHEN IT COMES TO MODELING?
HATS OFF TO DAVID GANDY, JON KORTAJARENA & SEAN OPRY. I THINK ITS VERY INSPIRING TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND HOW THEYRE ABLE TO TRANSFORM INFRONT THE CAMERA.
HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH REJECTION WHEN IT COMES TO MODELING?
IF YOU WANT A PEPERONI PIZZA, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ORDER THE SPINACH PIZZA. ITS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NEVER ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON. SO THERES NO NEED TO TAKE IT PERSONAL. SIMPLE AS THAT!
HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR OFF DAYS?
I USUALLY WORK OUT, STUDY FOR MY UNIVERSITY PROGRAMM OR MEET UP WITH FRIENDS.I ALSO LIKE GOING ON TRIPS OR DOING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
WHAT´S ON YOUR FAVORITE SPOTIFY LIST?
THERES SOMETHING ABOUT 80s MUSIC THAT JUST PUTS ME IN A GOOD MOOD.
WHAT´S SOMETHING YOU COULD EAT FOR A WEEK STRAIGHT?
IM A SUCKER FOR PASTA WITH PESTO & PARMESAN CHEESE :-)
WHAT MAKES YOU VERY HAPPY?
PRETZELS & BEER - ALL I NEED TO BE HAPPY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY VICES?
WHEN IT COME TO CHRISTMAS COOKIES IM LIKE DAVID COPPERFIELD. I CAN MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR IN A HEARTBEAT. SO, YOU BETTER BE QUICK.
DO YOU USE ANY BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
ON MY FACE, I USE HYALURONIC ACID AND A MOISTURIZER.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FRANGRANCE?
Y by YVES SAINT LAURENT
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOU PERSONAL STYLE?
CLEAN, ELEGANT, COMFORTABLE
WHAT IS A QUOTE THAT SPEAKS TO YOU?
THERE WILL BE OBSTICLES. THERE WILL BE DOUBTERS. THERE WILL BE MISTAKES. BUT WITH HARD WORK, THERE ARE NO LIMITS!
