Mathias Lauridsen was born Friday 13th of January 1984 in Copenhagen and started modeling in 2003. His second job ever was for Another Magazine hailing him to be the next big thing and his third a Jil Sander campaign. Here he shares with us what goes on in that pretty head of his.
First job?
Something called 'Shoe Magazine.' Don't ask!

Adult.
When do you feel like a model?
On my way home from a show.
Who's your favourite photographer?
David Sims and Tom Munro.
What's your money shot?
My left profile -- works every time.
Do you like to strike a pose?
Oh yes, but it takes me three hours to warm up.
When did you last say: Excuse me, but I'm like -- a model!
Hmmm, come to think of it, I never have.
What's the worst thing about modeling?
No food on monkey class.

So much free time.

What don't you ever travel without?
My iPod and my toothbrush.
Do you think 'clothes maketh the man?'
Yes, if you're dressed properly, and according to how you are. As opposed to those who try something which looks phony on them. I.E. I would never dress like a bling bling hip hopper -- you know.
What's your most cherished possession?
I would like to think that I could live without any of my material things without missing anything, so I deliberately don't have any.

What's on your iPod?
Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, Jenny Wilson, Kings of Leon.

Mashed Potatoes.

Aqua di Gio.

10 Pairs, but only use three.

A round of beer for my friends.

To a soccer match in my club called FC Sailor Boys. It's a private club with a bunch of friends.
