He´s the son of the prestigious braziian photographer Jade Matarazzo and has been acting for about 6 years. Yeah, and he enjoys the modeling world too! So, be my guest my World of Models family and join Andrew´s world!
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil. Most of my family were born in Italy and raised in Brazil. I got the pleasure of moving to
Florida when I was 5. Florida is really boring to me. with little oportunities for what I want to do, and finding inspiration in the bland culture here is rare. haha. I love theater and the performing arts. Acting is a HUGE passion of mine. I've never
doubted that I want to be an Actor. I've been acting for 6 years now, doing theater and film. Modeling is a hobby of mine
that I really love, but it is also somthing I can see myself pursueing. My mom is a photographer http://www.jadephotoart.com/
and I watched her do these crazy artisitc shoots since I was younger. One day she asked me to do one with her, and I LOVED it. I guess its the whole artistic aspect of it, but the story that images tell are so powerful. I love that part about it. After that I started getting offers from her photographer friends and then word got around and eventually I found myself working with some awesome people and photographers. They love that I'm an actor because...idk I guess I can get more emotion into a picture than the average person, But by no means do I think I am some super model, I just enjoy it. haha. I enjoy modeling but Acting is a deep passion of mine. I seriously can not live without being in some kind of production and playing a character.
I am currently preparing to audition for 8 diffrent performing arts colleges in January, including Juilliard in NY. This is something I've been working towards since birth. ahahah I want to be a film actor after college. I like the fact that every few frames you get to switch the character, pose and emotion. I like when photographers have a concept in mind, and it's my job to give them what they want. I dont really prepare in any special way. I just "get in the zone", if you will. I am a very laid back and outgoing person. I usally feel comforabtle with anyone I am working with. One time a photographer wanted me to give my hair liberty spikes. To do so he used bee's wax (half the tin) and my hair was literally solid stone within the next few mintues. It took me 8 showers to get it out hahaha, and my friends at school kept asking me why my hair was so greasy...not to mention I still had eyeliner on. but the image came out great. lol
Andrew, the fashionista?
I definitely don´t think I start any trends or anything, but I've been told I dress nicely. I like to dress very clean cut and comfortable. Solid color T's and jeans. Jackets are something I pretty much collect, and I like to find ones that no one has. When I travel a buy one, so chances are no one will have it at my school. haha ....does that sound dumb?
Show Business, fame and the most important things for his life
I think the show buisness industry is cut throat and it really takes a certain type of person to be part of it. I am only 17
and I've seen a lot that goes on...its sad sometimes. I have always thought fame is a plus, but it is definitely not what I am aiming for. I just want to make a good living doing what I love and inspiring people.
Things most important to me are:
1. My family
2. My dreams
3. My friends
4. Enjoying life, and of course....
5. The Performing arts
Andrew by himself
Imagine you are a famous model. Audience gets wild when they discover you are among them. How would you handle it?

Having fun, the places he goes and enjoy the best of life: I have fun doing almost anything.Just not staying home. I can have as much fun at a party that I do when I go out with a friend to lunch.

An unforgettable moment: When I arrived in England on the campus ground of a school I was to study Shakespeare for a few months. It was the most incredbile place I've been to. Your main motto: Do what you want to do and what makes life LIFE.
