Modeling, Acting and Nashville: that´s the cool Dillon Heath´s world!


by Edward with Dillon

 

Hey! My name is Dillon Heath, I am a 22 year old nursing student who enjoys a good time wherever it is and loves to be around people that enjoy life! I am a model/actor who just got into this industry not too long ago looking to take it as far as I can! I am from Nashville, TN born and raised. Whenever I got time I love being with my family and friends. I enjoy working out and keeping my body in the best shape I can. I just now picked up the sport of wake boarding so during the summer you can find me on the lake whenever I get time! I have played baseball my entire life and never thought about modeling, but luckily GOD placed a new opportunity. Just last November out of the blue I got a call from Cosmopolitan Magazine and they told me I had been nominated in their annual "Bachelor of the Year" contest and they selected me to represent my state! It was an unreal experience and it got the ball rolling for what I am doing now, so that's what started it all! I have been in music videos, and done some work with country music stars here locally. With nursing school and unfortunately the economy it is a rough time to start out right now in this industry but it's getting better and I am enjoying every second of it! The best thing modeling has done for me is kept me so discipline. I really strive to develop the look that the industry wants me to have and that takes a lot of hard work in the gym and in the diet!! It's not just look at the camera and smile haha. And no way am I done or achieved what I wanted. I am hopefully just beginning this ride! My goal/dream is to be in the magazines and billboards and representing a big name and being the face of a famous title (Calvin Klein is first one that comes to mind haha)

Working with photographers: directions, ideas and positive feeedbacks

I love a photographer that gets involved with the model's photos. I hate it when the photographer just starts shooting. Thebest photographers I've been with gave me direction, ideas and positive feedback. Nobody wants to work with anyone who isboring and has nothing encouraging or positive to say about what they are doing! Depending on how long I have to prep I put all my energy into a workout routine and especially a diet. I get on a crazy diet that involves pretty nasty and boring food every three hours haha.

Runways shows and the cool backstage´s stories

The most recent backstage story I have happened during the CMT Music awards in Nashville. I was backstage working a scene for the intro and got to meet Bill Engvall & Taylor Swift! They are great people and so nice! I got to see them without all the cameras and they are so down to earth, also seeing T-Pain in a cowboy hat was great! Runway shows are so fun I love doing that. One funny story was at the last runway show I did everyone was getting tired and hungry from waiting around and rehearsing all day. Everyone had been talking about the diet they had been on how hard it was, and right before the show started for whatever reason someone brought sandwiches and snacks. Just imagine a bunch of models knocking each other over trying to get to that tray of food and stuffing their faces right before we got on the runway it was pretty good ha.

Dillon Heath, the fashionista?

That's a funny question because this time last year you would find me in my nylon shorts and t-shirt all day everyday andprobably wearing a hat.Now, however my closet is full of awesome clothes, I take a lot of pride in my wardrobe now and try to dress up and look the best I can whenever I can.

Dillon by himself

Human Rights: I try to find a positive in every situation. I am definitely a glass half full kind of person. Everything is in GOD's hands and HE has a plan that's already worked out, and I have full faith in HIM so I don't worry about it.
Dating X Love: Have fun, no regrets! Your true love is out there somewhere!
Sports: I have played every sport and love to be apart of them whenever I can! I was fortunate to get a athletic scholarship
to play baseball for a Division 1 College
His way to atract someone´s attention: It's amazing what you will find out if you just go talk haha! People always wonder
what if too much and ya just got to go for it. Be who you are and don't change and more than anything don't fear rejectioncause it's gonna happen haha.
Having fun, the places he goes and enjoying the best of life: My friends and I love downtown Nashville. It has a lot of greatplaces that you can listen to bands, or go to a club and dance, or just walk around and meet very interesting people haha.
The craziest thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: Haha, one time me and my friend were in the mall with our
swimming trunks on and we past this jacuzzi they were advertising. It looked so awesome and tempting it just felt right to get in and really test it out....so we did haha. Of course, immediately escorted out but hey sounded good at the time.
Fav underwear for his daily activities and for those cooool sexy moments (LOL!): When I am just hanging out, I usually got my boxers on. When there comes a coooool sexy moment, I got some Armanis and/or Calvin's I throw on!
Fav body part: I honestly don't have a person body part. I just do whatever is in my power to look the best I can.

 

The Projects

I was in the "Joe's Next Model" competition for the new face of their new campaign. I came in 3rd. As far as the latest, I
got a call about some weeks ago from ABC and them wanting me to be on the next season of The Bachelorette so I have to call and discuss details with them!

An unforgettable moment: Winning the state championship in high school. It´s been a few years but that week is one week that me and my teammates will talk about forever. What a feeling!
Main motto: "If you're not living life on the edge, you are taking up too much space!"
