The lesson I want share is to just live life. <em><strong>Rip it and grip it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I hear a lot of words like &#8220;beauty&#8221; and &#8220;handsomeness&#8221; and &#8220;incredibly chiseled features.&#8221; To me, that&#8217;s like a vanity that &#8211; a self-absorption that I try to steer clear of. I dig the bungee. I mean, for me, it&#8217;s just the way I live my life. I grip it, and I rip it. I live with a lot of flair. I live it on the edge, where I gotta be. I wasn&#8217;t like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut. I was always more interested in, uh, what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere&#8217;s a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting will be another person who&#8217;s a hero. The music that he&#8217;s created over the years. I don&#8217;t really listen to it, but the fact that he&#8217;s making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I&#8217;m selling? No. Do I know what I&#8217;m doing today? No. But I&#8217;m here, and I&#8217;m gonna give it my best shot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 x International male model of the year\u00a0Alfred Hsinglander\u00a0also known as &#8220;A Rock&#8221; credits friend, mentor, and fellow international supermodel Derek Zoolander for inspiring him to pursoo modeling. &#8220;When I met D Rock 8 years ago, he inspired me to pursue male modeling.&#8221; says Hsinglander.
