Ryan Terry is a 23 year old plumber who was crowned Mr. Great Britain
and took his modelling passion even further by beating 40 other countries for
the prestigious title of Mister International 2010 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In addition to the main title he won the title of ‘Best Body’ beating
off the majority of seasoned and professional models. He was crowned by 2009’s title holder, Bruno
Kettels of Bolivia, in front of a
delighted 1000 strong audience and broadcast to over 200 million viewers around the World.
Ryan is the first European to win the Mister International title,
receiving congratulations from across the globe. The win was a huge milestone
in his quest to turn from a plumber to a
model. Over the last year Ryan
has worked closely with USN and has done some modelling work with local modelling agencies and TV adverts.
And finally, The Stunning Angels had the opportunity to interview Ryan.
Let us find out a little more about him..
1. What was your main reason to
participate in Mister International?
I wanted to test my boundaries and see if I was worthy of such an
amazing and prestigious title.
2. What was your first impression
as a candidate of Mr. International 2010 when you arrived in Jakarta?
The nerves started to kick in and then I realized just how big the
Pageant I had entered was and how life changing it would be for me if
I won.
3. Who were your favorites to
make it in to the top 15 and who did you believe would be the winner?
I believed that Ireland or Denmark would win my pageant as they were
very confident and established models already so I didn’t think I would have a
prayer of winning next to them.
4. Once you had won the Mister
International 2010 title, what were your main activities?
My main activities were to travel the world and visit the countries
that were entering this year pageant, to experience what that country has to
offer and the beauty of there country. I would also take part in all of
the National pageants, could be judging or interviews.
5. Nowadays, do you still keep in
touch with any candidates of Mr. International 2010?
Thanks to the beauty of facebook I manage to keep in touch with a lot
of the candidates from mister International 2010.had some great times with them
and class them as my friends now.
6. What is your favorite part of
your body & why?
My favorite part of my body would be my abdominals because I train them
very hard and that’s what most people know me for now, haha.
7. Do u agree with popular belief
that a man ruled by his head and a woman by her heart?
Not really thought about it but I would say not because we all have
feelings I think which come from both the heart and the head. Well I know
I make decisions from both my head and heart.
8. Looks, Intelligence, Wealth…
Rank these in order of importance to you in your dreams of woman and why?
I’d like to say personality first as I need to be able to have fun and
enjoy my time with her then secondly would like to be attracted to her as
well as I would hope they would be back to me and finally I don’t think wealth
would come in to it for me as I don’t see how money would make you attracted or
fall in love with someone.
9. If u were offered a leading
role in a film, which film would u prefer to choose and why?
I would like to be in a action
film where I could save the day and the damsel in distress, hahaha. think
SUPERMAN! :-)
10. How has your victory changed
your life? What different do u feel, that you're as Mr. International 2010 and
previously before?
Well I was a plumber before winning the title so my life has changed
dramatically. I am a full time model and sponsored athlete so the plumbing
tools have been put away in the shed for a while, haha.
11. What your new knowledge and
experiences you had since you become Mr. International?
I have been very fortunate since
winning the title to travel and see all parts of the world and experience new
cultures which have made me realize how lucky I am in life and that I should
never take anything for granted.
12. What has been the most
difficult part as Mr. International?
Being away from my family for a lot of the year as I am very close to
them, also not knowing what you are doing until a couple of days before.
13. What was the one special
moment of your year as Mister International 2010 you will NEVER forget?
I will never forget the moment I actually won the title, when I was on
stage and I heard my country had won a worldwide competition and how proud I
felt. Unforgettable moment seeing my mums face light up when I was lifted up by
all of the contestants.
14. Describe your year as Mister
International 2010 in just 4 words.
Unforgettable, life changing, Amazing and overwhelming
15. What will you do after crowning
your new successor which means your duty as Mr. International is over?
I have sponsors from numerous companies for a few years now so I will
pursue my modeling career and hopefully break in to America
16. What do you think about Cesar
Curti, the new Mr. International 2011? Did you expect him to win the competition?
Well I have unfortunately not met him so do not know him as a person
but he looks fantastic in pictures and looks to be a worthy winner
