23 Year old former Mister Junior South Africa 2016 who has a Passion for the entertainment industry since I was 6 years old. The words “ Lights , Camera & Action “ gives me life !! Since then Ive always been performing and modeling and doing photoshoots with my brother , trying to get in but I always get told you are to short. I am 1.70cm. The worst part is , they love my look and they love my walk but I am to short. It had demotivated me a lot cause its my dream and my passion its who I am to be in this industry... so I took this opportunity to just be a freelance model and to collaborate with friends and brands and we would just practice and send out portfolio in and hope for the best. But results always came back the same .. “love your look but unfortunately you are to short.” But anything is possible and I am still working and believing in myself that a breakthrough will come.

Its honestly amazing and the fact that Big celebrities are joining in on this series is amazing because it shows that its been taking seriously and that its actually changing peoples life ! This show .... safes Life’s .

Not only do I want to proof that Height shouldn’t be a problem for modeling because if you look at a Billboard or a Poster or Magazine one doesn’t think - oh he is 1.85cm or she is 1.75cm ... one thinks oh beautiful or look at that outfit! I can do a editorial shoot just as well and I can walk in a Fashion show just as well ! All I need is an opportunity. I would love to be remembered as someone who always took risks to better myself and to learn. I want inspire that nothing is impossible it all depends how badly you want it. Are you going to sit and feel sorry for yourself or are you going to educate yourself and then do the work and grow and become the person you strive to be. At the end of it all ... we are the ones who is holding ourselves back in life so , Go ahead , live your life , make mistakes and learn from them ... & remember ... “ Dream Bigger than Your Dreams to be Successful. “ - Shawn Taljaard Viljoen.
