First Saudi Male Model?

His name is Thamer Al Nafe3 and he is possibly the first Saudi Arabian male? model. He is a political science graduate, since there is nothing for him to do with that kind of degree in Saudi, he went into the modeling profession. Elaph did an interview with him recently. Here are some points that he mentioned in the interview:

  • Modeling doesn’t interfere with my religion. Good point, if your not appearing half naked, or even worse appearing half naked with other half naked women (i am not saying that he did that)
  • I am proud of my country and my religion. You go…..err….boy!
  • For a while? I hid the fact that I am Saudi Arabian. Contradicts with your last point, doesn’t it?
  • My? wish is that one day fashion shows will be held in Saudi. Come on dude, don’t aim that high. Lets get some damn cinemas at first (amongst a few other things). Then build up to your fashion shows.

He appeared in a music video with Madelyn Matar, which apparently “launched” his career in the middle east. He worked in Italy before that.

He doesn’t look “model material” to me. But what the heck do I know about male models. It would be interesting to hear what the girls think about this guy. He looks “normal” to me.

      Yazeed-

      There was another Saudi guy who modelled a few years back - he was in a couple of Janet Jackson videos too, apparently she liked him a lot. I can’t remember much else about him.

      Give the guy a break. What can go wrong if we appreciate someone trying to build a career they like? All I know about male models is that they like men more than women…:P…
