Well lets see I grew up in Mobile, Alabama and my passion was always football. I don´t think I ever thought once of becoming a model or ever traveling the way I have lately. My personal interests are hiking, working out, skin boarding and I LOVE to eat!!! Lol. I was scouted while in South Beach when i was 18 but I didn´t pursue it until I broke my ankle playing football and was asked to come out to LA and live in a models apt. The rest is history haha. The best thing about modeling so far would be meeting all the great people and traveling to places I would have probably never visited if it wasn´t from modeling. My first test went pretty well and was done by Andrea Marino. People to this day still love the pictures from his shoot.
Photographers, runways and not 2 much of fashionista
I enjoy working with all photographers really. They all bring something new to the table. Runways are a lot of fun but i prefer doing a shoot than a runway. I have worked with a good bit of fashion designers and i feel like my book is very diverse. I go from wearing a suit in one picture to underwear on a beach in the other lol.
Yea, I feel like I´ve achieved my main purposes. I have now traveled the world and met a lot of great friends. Without modeling I would probably still be living in Alabama lol. Ahh not 2 much of a fashionista. I stay pretty active and I am outdoors a lot so I stay pretty casual because otherwise I would mess up all my nice clothes while I´m out hiking, surfing, playing football etc.
The fans and show business
I believe the fans are what make you. I love all my fans and they are the ones that make me keep going at it and lift myself up when sometimes feeling down. I created a blog actually so people could actually keep up with my jobs. It is http://www.leekholafai.blogspot.com/ and I´m also on twitter. http://www.twitter.com/LeeKholafai. (note of editor: Lee Kholafai also got a huge yahoo fan base, created by me ha ha, check it out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lee_kholafai). I have no problem with people knowing what I´m doing and etc lol I love show business actually and have been working on my acting skills lately.
Singer Kelly Clarkson and I do not hook up video
Working with Kelly Clarkson and director Bryan Barber was amazing!!! The video was a lot of fun and the crew was huge. It was shot in LA and it definitely made me realize how much i enjoy acting so after that job I immediately enrolled in acting classes. So now I also have a commercial agency and a theatrical manager.
