20th August 2014
Who is Jacob Riley?
I am Jacob Riley.
What did you do before modeling?
I was going to school in Texas. I absolutely hated it.
If you weren’t a model what would you be?
I would be the same guy, pursuing the same dream of being an artist. Just with a bit less superficiality in my life.
Your personal passion or hidden talents?
I love to draw, paint, and create. It's something I'm very passionate about. I also love music, so I spin at bars and clubs around the city.
Oh yeah and hackey sack, that's the shit!.
Ten years from now (you will be…)?
I'll probably be pursuing a lot of different projects, I always keep my life full and busy.
Favorite word?:
'Live', cause people talk about it but rarely do it.
What’s no fun?
Sobriety. Selfies.
Who's your favorite Supermodel?
Haha I don't really know any.
Instant gratification?
The first hit and the first sip after a long day.
Current 'eye candy'?
Kinda over it. Remember, candy rots your teeth.
Favorite movie?
My favorite movie is 'Holy Motors'.
Your Dream modeling Job?
Cover of Forbes. Get it?
Something 'Timeless'?
A broken clock.
What’s your beauty secret or essential grooming routine?
At the end of the day, nobody really likes the wrapping paper, we like what's inside... No?!
