ay Affair 2014 what made you start modeling? To be quite honest, my mother was annoyed seeing me all time at my laptop wasting time, so she enrolled me with Vipaj Modeling Centre, Malta and from there I just fell in love with modeling What has modeling taught you so far? Modeling gave me much more confidence and actually taught me not be scared and just try and explore new things to do and enhance other talents such as acting and singing How did it feel when you won the Miss Runway Affair Competition? I was totally surprised, in shock and happy, I was one of the youngest models and didn’t expect it at all, I spent a couple of days wearing my crown, that’s how happy I was what advice do you give to young teens like you that would like to start modeling? I would tell them to just go for it, it might not always be glitz and glam, but for winning your selfconfidence it’s all worth the hard work what is your dream? Wow, my dream is to participate in Miss Universe and why not maybe even be Miss Universe, if Malta ever get the opportunity to be in it, I just need to get a bit taller, although for my age (14) I’m quite tall already (1.63cm)

Wayne Grech
Age 28 Height 185 cm Weight 85 kg Profession I am a professional Hairdresser
Favorite things Personally, my favourite thing which gives me real satisfaction is my job ' hairdressing ' and also travelling to different countries. I love my job as it gives me huge satisfaction especially when I see my clients pleased and happy with the way they are looking. Secondly, I try to go on holidays every month to visit different places and different culture. I always learn new things from different places and also it is amazing to meet people from all around the world. Why would you like to become Mr. Gay World™ 2015?I started modelling at the age of 16, then at the age of 18 I participated in a male contest in South Korea, Mr Manhunt International. Now ten years passed and I wanted to do a come back in the modelling industry.. I followed last years Mr Gay World and I was dreaming to be on stage like the other contestants.. Last October I decided to give it a try so I decided to apply myself via the website because this is the First time Malta is participating in Mr Gay World. For me it was amazing when I was told that I am the ambassador for Malta in Mr Gay World 2015.. its like a dream came true.. Malta is a very very small island in the world with less then half a million of population.. in previous years the word 'GAY' was a taboo.. when I was a kid I used to be bullied because of this but I learnt from them and they made me stronger to see life better. If I would be Mr Gay World 2015 I will surely follow the steps of Mr Gay World 2014 Mr Stuart Hatton and keep on working for anti-bullying and show everyone that each person have to live his life happy in his own way without no one judging each other.. I would defenitaly work to teach and help people to tolerate each other more. Also, put huge effort and show everyone that there should be no difference between Straight and Gay People and that everyone should be equal. I am a very determined person and I always try my best to reach my goals and targets.. I beleive that Determination is the key for Success Runway Affair
