Manhunt: Males models spend more than four hours a day looking good

Twenty of the world’s finest males are on the Gold Coast for an international modelling competition. And they’ve confessed to the crazy amount of time it takes each day to look this good.

THESE men spend hours every day at the gym, playing sports, dancing and “going to the parlour” just to look like this.

For Nepal’s Dhruva Budhahoki, 24, it’s all about looking smick for Instagram and Facebook. Lawyer Zanabazar Dageamamdal, of Mongolia, just wants to celebrate his youthful looks.

“I work as a lawyer in Shanghai,” the 27-year-old says. “It’s a very stressful job so during my lunch breaks I go to the gym.”

NOMINATE HERE FOR GOLD COAST WOMEN OF THE YEAR

The pair are among 20 of the world’s finest male models on the Gold Coast for the Manhunt World Final competition.

Manhunt was first held on the Gold Coast in 1993 and has returned after being held all over the world.

Mr Budhahoki said: “I would say I spend about four hours a day on my looks.

“I go to the gym for an hour or two every day and also go to the parlour a lot to get facials and have my hair cut.”

The men are all staying at the Q1 on the Gold Coast before they compete for the title on Sunday at the QT hotel.

There will be three segments of the competition they need to win to the title — from wearing their national costumes, suiting up in evening wear and showing off how they wear swimwear.

Manhunt International president Rusko Dickinson, Sally Gyte from 9 News and events managers will be judging the men.

Last year’s Manhunt winner Truong Ngoc Tinh will be crowning the lucky man which is said to give one person the title to launch their international modelling career.

Over 200 international and local guests are expected to attend the night.
