Luca has experienced a lot since GNTM

FIV: Hello Luca, it’s nice that the interview worked out. You have already experienced a lot in your life. You took part in GNTM in 2021. Since then you are a successful model and active on social media. How has your life changed since you took part in GNTM?

Luca: After GNTM, my life in public has changed: despite the Corona circumstances, I am invited to events and have the opportunity to meet other well-known personalities there. I am recognized on the street and people ask for photos with me. In my old school I have become a role model to realize one’s dreams. But privately, everything is actually like before, the daily madness just.

Tips for participation in GNTM

FIV: The new season of GNTM starts soon. And you certainly have tips in store for the aspiring candidates?

Luca: In any case, stay true to yourself, don’t let it get you down, be able to laugh at yourself sometimes, and don’t take some things too seriously. The best thing is to take everything with you as a great experience and also grow in yourself and the challenges.

How Luca got into modeling

FIV: Was modeling always your career aspiration or did you want to do something else?

Luca: In the beginning, modeling was just like a hobby and I didn’t think that it would become bigger… but over time it has developed, also by the motivation of my environment, there! Before there were already some career ideas, for example: run your own horse farm with friends, then be a veterinarian there; I also wanted to join the police…

Social media and study

FIV: You are currently a student. How do you reconcile your studies and life as a model with your activity as a social media personality?

Luca: Sometimes I’m surprised myself, but somehow it works out most of the time… the lecture quickly takes place on the train, and then social media during the breaks.

Tips: Pressure on social media

FIV: You are in the public eye and are active on social media as a social media personality. How great is the pressure in the business to always be “perfect”? What is the best way to deal with it?

Luca: Of course, numbers play an important role. The business is big and always a test, but I try to put myself under less pressure. That works well in some places and not so well in others… My friends and family are an important support for me to always remain authentic.

Interesting things are coming

FIV: Finally a short look into the future, we are curious what you have planned in the near future: Do you have big plans like a move or similar or is there
something special? Give us a little teaser of what your fans and followers can look forward to in the near future!

Luca: The next big event is the fulfillment of an agreement with an Olympic athlete, among other things it’s about high diving… then of course my journalism studies and a few other interesting things that I still have to do, but as we all know, you don’t talk about unlaid eggs…
