Jirawat Hemansutikun

iFitness speaks to Thai model Jirawat Hemansutikun (also known as Earn) who has a large fan base in Thailand as well as in the region. His cheerful and down to-earn attitude makes him such a joy to be around. And this is one model that has brawn, brains and beauty all rolled into one.

- Kevin Khoo

You graduated in Otago University, New Zealand. What did you study and graduate in?

My major is Philosophy and my minor is Religious Studies.

Tell us the one thing you miss about Thailand when you were in NZ?

That’s an easy question, my mum.

When did you realised you wanted to be a model?

In my second year. All I thought was that I like to go to the gym and that I could earn a bit of pocket money to help my parents’ spending on me.

Can you share with us your experience working with the well-known photographer Airry?

He’s very easy to work with and very professional. He always makes me comfortable expressing what I have inside. And the trust we have makes every shot come out so well.

You did a TV commercial with Eddie Peng for adidas.
