“A year before I got scouted, I would watch a lot of FashionTV. At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mom, the girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV. A year later, someone took me to an agency and that’s it. Revenge is always…  I know it sounds terrible, but it does feel good to show those people.”
