Sy droom om \u2019n model op die loop\u00adplank en voor die kameras te wees, het vir die Saldanha-inwoner Andr\u00e9 van Wyk \u2019n werklikheid geword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 28-jarige se groot droom het vorm begin aanneem toe hy op sosiale media op \u2019n video afgekom het vir model- oudisies wat deur Expos\u00e9 in die Bo-Kaap aangebied word. Van Wyk het sonder om twee keer te dink geweet hierdie is \u2019n teken en hy moet die kans met al twee hande aangryp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die dag van die oudisie kom, s\u00ea Van Wyk, was hy eers \u2019n bietjie huiwerig, maar met die motivering van sy vriendin het hy dit aangedurf. By registrasie het hy die nommer 86 ontvang \u2013 \u2019n nommer wat hy nooit sal vergeet nie. \u201cToe hulle my nommer roep, was ek nog op my senuwees, maar toe die musiek begin speel het alles verdwyn en die oomblik waarvoor ek jare gewag het, het gebeur,\u201d vertel Van Wyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het goed gevaar in die oudisie en amptelik deel van die Expos\u00e9-familie geword. Sy eerste keer op die loopplank was by die modelvertoning Renaissance,<\/span> aangebied deur Expos\u00e9 \u2013 iets wat hy as \u2019n eens-in-\u2019n-leeftyd-ervaring beskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die gereis tussen die Kaap en Saldanha vir foto- en oefensessies en die skofte wat hy by Woolworths werk, het egter sy tol op sy liggaam begin eis. \u201cEk het myself oortuig ek kan albei doen, maar dit het toe nie so uitgewerk nie. Ek het nie meer tyd gehad om saam met my ouers en familie deur te bring nie en kon nie meer met my vriende sosiaal wees nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het begin alleen voel en moes \u2019n keuse maak tussen my werk en my loopbaan. Dit was moeilik en ek het rondgedraai oor die besluit wat ek moet neem; dit het my selfs slapelose nagte gegee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het einde Mei by Woolworths bedank om voltyds aan my loopbaan te werk. My droom het alles kom verander; ek het nooit geweet alles sal in \u2019n oogknip verander nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit was nie lank daarna nie toe nog \u2019n deur vir Van Wyk oopgegaan het toe hy die geleentheid kry om deel te wees van die modelagentskap Pulse Model Management in die Kaap, waar hy reeds vir die afgelope drie maande is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDi\u00e9 drie maande het my geleer om altyd reg te wees as hulle jou bel vir \u2019n oudisie of casting<\/span>. Ek het selfs by Zonefitness-gim aangesluit om fiks te bly en om [my] gesond te hou. Dit is nie altyd maklik nie, maar deursettings\u00advermo\u00eb is die beste eienskap wat jy op hierdie pad nodig het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van Wyk sien daarna uit om sy ouers \u2019n gerieflike leefstyl te gee en wil selfs saam met Suid-Afrikaanse klerehandelsmerke werk. Maar vir eers wil di\u00e9 jongman ander lande besoek met die groot droom om \u2019n internasionale model te wees wat sy land en tuisdorp sal kan verteenwoordig.
