This has led to a life - long commitment to fitness. I work out everyday and also advise others. In 2012 I attended acting school with Tom Logan in Los Angeles. Whilst in the USA i was invited to model for various agencies and this resulted in TV advertisements for the Thums Up, Park Avenue Soap and for Audi. From 2013 I studied Food and Health Studies at Stanford University, California.
