How about a little eye candy to cleanse your sartorial palette?
Shreveport, Louisiana native Darius Williams, a 25-year-old who is currently the face of Polo Ralph Lauren.
The former football player (who once had dreams of playing in the NFL) moved to New York with the dream of fronting a campaign for a major fashion house. He said, “I was dropped on Bowery street with $200 in my pocket and a suitcase full of summer clothes. And I had to find my way.”
Within 6 months, he accomplished his goal, shooting for the consummate American brand with famed photographer Bruce Weber.
Now, he has dreams of moving to LA to pursue acting. He says, “I want to branch into the movie scene as the fresh faced, sexy, handsome black guy.”
Do you think he has what it takes?
Take a look at a few flix here:
Yep!
One take away from our conversation: He said, “Once I commit to something, I never quit. Especially if I have that internal desire and fire. When people tell me I don’t know what I’m doing, or if they’re laughing…it doesn’t bother me. I’ve always known that I didn’t want to be the norm.” Alright!
Keep an eye out for Darius, and also be sure to follow him on Instagram @Darius_Williams11.
