Exclusive Interview - Mr. International Netherlands: JURGEN HEIJSER


Before participating at Mister International Netherlands 2014 Pageant, what did you do?
Working as a shipping agent for Eimskip, an Icelandic shipping company, coaching people at the gym and off course preparing myself for men’s physique contests.
Further I love to enjoy life. Going out for dinner, walking the dog, make a walk on the beach, playing some music etc.

Tell us about your family!
I have a great family. We have lots of fun with each other. Last month I even added my gorgeous girlfriend and dog to our family, so we are complete now.


If you showed me around your country, where would you take me?
I would definitely take you to the top floor of the Tulip inn next to the Erasmus bridge. At night you’ll see this amazing view of the Rotterdam Skyline. So if you want to marry someone, you should do that.

Name one living person that inspires you!
Simple question. This is by far Kai Greene.
His seminars inspire me most to be at my best every single day.

If you could have dinner with Dutch famous person, who would it be and why?
Gigi Ravelli. But that’s just because of her looks and I want to know if she’s fun.


About same-sex marriage, support it or not? Explain why?
In my opinion everyone need to do what he or she needs to do. If you’re happy with someone of your own sex, don’t hide away. So yes, I support this.

If you were to be reborn, whom would you choose to be born as: Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela? Why?
I cannot tell you an exact answer. We all know what these people have achieved for mankind and they need to be honored for their efforts. But I do not know if I could handle such a life they lived. A very difficult question, and as I am still developing myself I cannot give you an answer on this one right now.  

Everyone has a mission in life. What do you think your mission is?
I would not call it a mission. Life is a more like a journey with lots of opportunities.
My goal is to teach people about fitness and happiness, to travel for fitness and to make people see that fitness is the solution to your problems.


Did you dream of becoming a Mister International?
I do not dream, dreamers are stuck in their own imagination. I make things happen. If I want something I will think about how to reach this goal. I do not dream about the moment of achieving, I think about the journey how to do my utmost.

How did you prepare yourself for Mister International Netherlands 2014?
At first, we are not done with the preparation. We are all still in training and coached by Lyron Martina. I’ve learned about how to pose and walk like a “Mister” which was a new and fun experience to me. I myself was already preparing for another men’s physique contest so my body is in a real good shape. 

Among all the contestants, who do you think is your strongest rival? (you have to mention one name!)
I think Ali and Lohrenz will have a good chance of winning this contest. Their catwalk is great, they have good poses and they are funny guys.


If you win Mister International Netherlands 2014, what are your plans for the future?
We will go to Korea and after that trip I will check the possibilities to move to America.
