Nick Bateman´s world: Karate, Photography, Acting, Wakeboarding and Modeling, of course!


by Edward with Nick

" Nick, this is Calvin" having no clue about the fashion industry at the time. I shook his hand and walked away. Then it clicked in and I asked the judge "WAIT A SEC who was that??", he looks over and says "Calvin Klein". I pull up my underwear band and point "this Calvin Klein?"

I was Born in Burlington Ontario Canada, at the age of 4 I wanted to be ninja turtle so I started Karate, by 8 I was a Regional Champion, By 12 a National Champion and by 17 a World Champion. Some of my personal interests are Photography,Acting and wake-boarding. The modeling career? I didn't really decide kind of just happened. I was in Miami competing on ESPN International for a Weapons Contest of the 10 best competitors from across the world (all world Champions), Model Universe was happening at the same venue. Without me know my friend signed me up, I didn't want to do it at first, but was talked into it. I ended up getting 5th out of over 100 models on ESPN international for Model Universe Contest. After the contest one of the judges walks me up to a man and introduces me and says "Nick this is Calvin" having no clue about the fashion industry at the time I shook his hand and walked away. Then it clicked in and I asked the judge "WAIT A SEC who was that??", he looks over and says "Calvin Klein". I pull up my underwear band and point "this Calvin Klein?". He looks at me laughs and says "YES" . So after talking with Calvin Klein and Others I was sent to Elmer Olsen Models where I began modeling

 

Working with the photographers and the catwalks

When working with a photographer I like when the laid back, someone who can throw on music and have fun but work hard to get the shot at the same time, no real preparation maybe couple push-ups if its a body shot. I've walked for Versace, Energie, Parasuco, Dsquared, Calvin Klein, Roberto Cavalli, and tons more. Dean and Dan of Dsquared where def a good memory, such nice guys and a pleasure to work with!

Nick by himself

Show Business, Fame and Success: It´s definitelly something I like to achieve through my Martial Arts and Weapons by staring in major Motion Pictures. Fame and Success for me is being Noticed for my passions and being the best at it.
Human Rights, Free of Speech and Sexual Behaviors: I focus on the Positive going on in the world and try and feed off that energy, there is too much BAD news on the NEWS, so I don't waste my time with it and focus on my loved ones and myself.
A fashionista? Somewhat, like Darker Shades for my shirts and wear mainly jeans and I usually rock my Replay Boots
Imagine you are a famous model. Audience gets wild when they discover you are among them. How would you handle it? Wave, smile, say hi. Then make a quick exit
On Women: Personality in a Woman is very important to me must be strong minded and respect themselves with confidence, Looks wise I prefer Brunette and curvy but fit!
Sports: Football, Wakeboarding, and as you can tell Karate and Weapons
His way to atract someones attention- smirk at them
Having fun, the places he goes and Nick´s way to enjoy the best of life: BBQ's, Movies, Hot-tubing, Wake-boaring, Casino (Poker room)
Fav food: Burgers or Pizza. its an on going war between the two
