UMat Raimo ufika ukuze asinqobe, hhayi kuphela nge-gallantry yakhe, kodwa ngekhono lakhe ekusebenzeni, amandla azalwa abangenawo abaningi, kodwa uMat ubonisa ukuthi umsebenzi nokuzinikela kuyahambisana. Yingakho ekwazi ukufeza izinhloso zakhe.
“Nami manje ngiyalingisa. Ukuhlala eLos Angeles. Usanda kwenza ifilimu ebizwa ngokuthi “The Neighborhood” ezodlala kumabonakude ngoFebhuwari. Ngaba nendima eyinhloko kuleyo filimu.” U-Matt ucaphuna nge-vibe ekhazimulayo futhi ngokuziqhenya okukhulu, okwamanje ifilimu isekukhiqizweni kwangaphambili, kodwa maduze sizombona.
Ubungcweti bakhe buye bamfaka emkhakheni wokumodela nokuyilapho sabona khona u-Matt osemncane obukeka esebenza nabantu abavelele futhi ebesemikhankasweni eyahlukene kusukela aqala ngo-2012.
Ngisebenze nabathwebuli bezithombe abaningi abaphambili. UBruce Weber noMario Testino ukubiza umbhangqwana. Ngenze inqwaba yemikhankaso. Nautica, uRalph Lauren ukubiza umbhangqwana lapho futhi… Ngike ngasebenza no-Gisele, Candice, Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour… ukubala abambalwa. — Math.
Kodwa u-Matt ungumuntu othanda ukudla ngempela, sidinga abantu abaningi abafana naye, kithina ungumgqugquzeli ngempela, isibonelo: “Ngithanda i-baseball, izinja, ukuvakasha kanye nolwandle. Ngiyakujabulela ukufunda nokukhula njalo.”
Matt, ngiyabonga kakhulu ngokwabelana ngamagama engeziwe no-Fashionably Male. Masiyifunde:
Kulungile, unqume nini ukuthuthela e-Los Angeles ukuze uqale umsebenzi wakho womlingisi?
