Baptiste: My favorite app is called ‘Sunrise’, the alternative to a classic calendar.

FIV: If you could wish for an app to make your everyday life easier, what should it be able to do?

Baptiste: I’m thinking an app that prepares food for me at home. (laughs)

FIV: You’re just not a speaker, you also have a Huawei in your private life, what do you like most about it?

Baptiste: I especially like the ‘finger print function’ (it’s a little shutter button behind the phone), it makes taking selfies super easy.

FIV: Baptiste, you are the most successful model on social media, what is your secret?

Baptiste: The secret is to ‘keep it simple’, really! That means you have to be whole with your fans and you can’t make fake content. It’s always about being authentic.

FIV: We’re all pretty addicted to technology these days – what are your must-haves for everyday life?

Baptiste: To be honest my cell phone is my only ‘must have’ for me. Everything else goes without it.

FIV: You have so many careers: You’re single, a model, and a businessman – What aspect of your life are you most proud of?

Baptiste: I’m proud of everything to be honest! I’m proud because I put in a lot of hard work into my career and my life. I’ve sacrificed a lot and everything to get where I am. I honestly believe in ‘no pain, no gain’.
