AS A child, Louis Evans was bullied for his red hair and freckled skin. Today, he is a stunning catwalk model.

Louis struggled growing up in the small town of Lowestoft, UK, with his red hair being the main focus of tormentors, who called him “Rusty”.

He struggled to find a girlfriend as he battled severe acne and after leaving school he got a dead-end job as a cold caller for an office supplies company.

“It was quite difficult growing up in a small town. People are very close-minded in Lowestoft,” he said.

“Back at home there were stereotypes about gingers and I had the wrong kind of attention.

“I didn’t let it affect me though and I tried not to let it affect my confidence.”

His transformation began at 20, when his face started to change.
