David Gandy revealed: from his truncated vocation to the secret of his success

The British model David Gandy is especially known for being the protagonist of the Dolce advertisement

At 43 years old, she has been working as a model for more than 20 years and tonight she made herself known a little more in El Hormiguero. Despite her blue eyes and her physique, she has confessed that at first it was difficult for her to enter the world of modeling because of her more athletic aesthetic. “At that time they were looking for more androgynous models.”

However, he has acknowledged that “I refused to lose weight because I felt better about myself.” In fact, he has explained that he does not diet of any kind to stay in shape. “I certainly don't stop eating. “I continue to eat the same thing, but in moderation,” he assured Motos. Furthermore, he has confessed that "I love cookies."

David Gandy's secret to maintaining his physique is to not stop training. In addition, follow a “Mediterranean diet, which is better than the English diet, I try not to eat ultra-processed foods or saturated fats.” And, especially, when he has a campaign, train more. “I wish I didn't need it and it was all natural.”

Although it's not all about the physique, it's also important to know how to pose. For that reason, Pablo Motos wanted to know the model's tricks to “always look good in the photos.” “In the end you have to imagine that the photographer is not there and that you are playing a role.” The same model has acknowledged that at first he “didn't know and after years you get the hang of it.”

Beyond his physical care, he has assured the importance of his work motto: “It is more important what you say no to.” The model assures that he is “loyal to the brands that have supported me from the beginning, like Massimo Dutti.” He prefers to prioritize them over others who “started calling me when I was famous. I was happy to say no.”

Now, David Gandy is a father and has his own clothing brand, David Gandy Wellwear, in which "we have found European anti-stain and anti-odor fabrics, with moisturizing treatment with Aloe vera." What's more, the reason why he is in Madrid is because of a collaboration between his brand and Hacket London.
