What's Levi Johnston's career strategy -- beyond doing interviews about how he knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter? One of his vague aspirations is apparently to profit from his 15 minutes by becoming a model. So far, it looks like the modeling industry's taking a pass.
According to a CBS Early Show report, Levi's self-proclaimed career prospects go something like this: “He says that he will be an electrician like everyone else in his
family, or maybe all this publicity will lead to a modeling or acting
gig, which he is open to.”
While I could kinda see Levi doing some modeling work for the Bass Pro Shop catalog, it's hard to imagine him supporting himself and his baby Tripp with his acting skillz.
Of course, when Vanity Fair heard about Levi's opportunistic and quasi-ridiculous plan, they couldn't help themselves. They decided to contact some of top modeling agencies to see if they were interested in working with the infamous baby daddy.
Click Models
“We didn’t reach out to him. I guess he’s interested, but we weren’t,” said Stephanie Grill, director of Click’s men’s board.
DNA Model Management
“No one has reached out
to him. He’s a good-looking guy, but not really a model type. No one
would see him on the runway. He was ill-at-ease on Tyra Banks and I
can’t see that changing drastically,” said Fred Howard of DNA public
relations.
Ford Models
“No one in the Men’s Division has
reached out. It wasn’t even brought up. I know every time I saw him
during the elections, I never thought, ‘He should be a male model.’ It
would be doubtful,” said Jesse Simon of the Ford men’s board, in New
York.
