Johannes Knop

You were at the first Men’s Academy. How was that?

First of all, I’m really grateful to have been there, although I was still skeptical at first! Of course, I learned a lot, took a lot with me and was able to apply it straight away, which worked really well. It also gave me self-confidence and I feel much more prepared, as I’m still at the beginning. However, the best thing for me was getting to know the whole team really well and also connecting with the other guys and even really getting in touch with some of them now. It was just totally helpful for me overall and I’m very happy to have been part of it.

What went through your mind during your first runway?

At that moment, I was just so happy and felt extremely comfortable. I had the biggest adrenaline rush of my life. Of course I was very, very nervous, but I was still able to really enjoy the moment and I just knew that this was my thing and that I wanted to do a lot more shows!

You graduated from high school this year. What are your plans now?

My main priority now is modeling and I’m even going to Greece soon to gain more important experience there, which I’m really looking forward to. In the near future, I definitely want to build up a second mainstay, preferably in the field of education, psychology or nutrition, but for now I definitely just want to model and of course spend a lot of quality time with my girlfriend, friends and family.

Who do you look up to?

I can clearly say my parents and my best friend, in general and in modeling definitely Jordan Barrett, Kit Price and Calum Harper.

What haven’t you dared to do yet?

To really get started with social media, which I would really like to do. But I will definitely pull through with it.
