MODEL FIRED FOR EATING CARBS
A male model has reportedly been fired from the set of an Abercrombie & Fitch photo shoot because he was caught eating carbs.
The American clothing company is known for its sexy and often homoerotic catalogues featuring a bevy of gorgeous male and female models.
The New York Post reports that, at a photo shoot by Bruce Weber for a new catalogue last week, Belgian model Florian Van Bael was sacked after he was seen eating a croissant.
The models, who worked 13 hour days, had apparently agreed to have their eating, drinking and workouts monitored throughout the shoot.
Bizarrely, Van Bael’s agent backed his client’s sacking, saying: “I don’t think it’s a question about coffee or croissant, it’s just a question of respect during an important job.”
Fired for eating?. How pathetic! Shame on you! Wish we can find out which company it so we can boycott their clothing ranges!
uhm, didn’t you read the article Gazardiel?
It clearly states it was a modelling shoot for Abercrombie & Fitch.
Holier than thou. Just what makes Abercrombie & Fitch such super-saints, that they can demand such idiotic “standards”?
Shoot the Model. Perfection demands no less
These are the sacrifices models have to make
Personally I think it was an excuse to fire the Belgian because 10 American boys were standing in line for that contract.
