Interview by Henning Strassburger:
Bastian, tell me, what is it about, being a successful model from one day to the next and everybody seems to be interested into you suddenly?Weeeeell, that’s…eehhm… interesting (laughing).
And especially what is it like coming back home? Are your friends interested into your new career?
There are many questions, of course. But luckily not too many. It is really nice having a kind of vacation after coming back home.
What about your mother?
She is proud! I guess she is the one who is searching the most on google to see the latest editorials on blogs, that’s what she is doing with lots of discipline!
Where you interested into the whole model business before? Did you assume it to be fun or to be fucked up?
It wasn’t actually part of my personal world. I haven’t had any interest so far. As well as my friends, they are getting a taste of it right now, too. It is definitely interesting… a nice experience.
And do you post your model pics on Facebook?
Mmhh, maybe some backstage shots and I sometimes “like” certain photos of me. But posting magazine-pictures would be too much on purpose I guess.
Did you change something ever since you’re modeling, I mean do you eat less or do you do more sports?
Nope, not really. I go for a jog from time to time, but more to calm down. I don’t get fat anyways, because I don’t eat any meat. I am vegetarian. But of course, I am surely more aware of my body now.
Where have you been for a job lately?
I was in London and Paris on stay and I am coming from a job in New York right now. New York is the best city to be!
What was the most stressful situation for you so far?
Well, the worst is waiting at a casting for 3 hours and then being inside for only 30 seconds. That sucks!
Ok, so what do you do to chill when you’re back in Berlin?
I go to my favorite clubs, I really enjoy the "Wilde Renate" and the "about:blanc" Club here in Friedrichshain.
Is this the music you like the most?
Yes, all electronic music. I also like listening to Chill Out or Lounge a lot. And I love to dance to Funk Music!
