But before he set his foot to supermodeldom he started out as a balut (boiled chicken egg embryo) vendor, he hadn't graduated college, (and I suppose, If you ever reached this level of stardom, quitting college is just like refusing a buck over a grand), for financial reasons. His mother, as of my knowing, has diabetes by the way. Thanks to his Chinese and Puerto Rican ancestry he now is a supermodel.
