written by
Katie Barnes
Welcome back for Part 2!
This time we would like to start by introducing you to the lovely Ben Spong! Ben started modelling back in 2017 whilst living in Canada. So far in his career he has shot for lifestyle brands including GoApe, Monster, DMC Watches, Halfords and Health Canada.
What has been your favourite job so far?
"A Halfords Ad I recently I shot for their new Electric scooter. I just had to scoot around in Gloucester Quay!"
Tell us about your funniest moment on set/in a casting..
"I once did a casting where I had to run on a treadmill for 5 minutes. I got too confident and put the speed to high and was then too embarrassed to lower it. I ended up sprinting and almost falling off. Safe to say I looked like a bit of a doughnut and did not get the job!"
What are your interests/hobbies outside of work?
"Football, Fitness, Adrenaline Activities and travelling."
Outside of modelling Ben has worked previously as a personal trainer and has more recently got interested in marketing. Though modelling is still his main priority he has been searching for a way to marry the two.
Do you have any advice for new models/actors?
"Just go for it. Everyone's first few shoots are going to have some bad photos. You have nothing to lose."
