Model Romulo Pires Up-close and Personal

Model Romulo Pires Up-close and Personal

As a member of Brazilian “Royalty,” Romulo Pires has been modeling for luxury magazines and walking runways for top designers for the past decade. He is proud of his many accomplishments including being the face for Gucci, Pepe Jeans, Christian Lacroix, Lagerfeld Gallery, cK1, Macy’s, Cartier, Valentino, and many others.

His modeling career has taken him all over the world including Milan, Paris, and Japan. He has withstood brutal weather conditions all for the sake of “getting just the right shot.”

But modeling isn’t the only thing that keeps this handsome devil happy. He is also a huge fan of movies and acting. If given the chance, he says, he would love to act in a film directed by Martin Scorsese, partly because of the director’s brilliance, and partly because Romulo Pires loves action and old mafia movies.

Similar to his approach to modeling, he believes that if you’re going to do something, you need to do it 100% right, so his dream doesn’t just include action movies, it also includes acting in dramas, comedies, and thrillers.

Romulo Pires loves music, all kinds of music, but his favorite is popular Brazilian music including Anitta, Luan Santana, and Calvin Harris. During his free time he loves going out with friends to see bands, play pool, and of course, go to the movies. He also loves playing soccer (his first love as a boy), playing tennis, and practicing the combat sport, Muay Thai.

Since he was “discovered” while working as a mechanic at the tender age of 18, Romulo Pires has never lost sight of his roots. He stays in touch with his large family (13 total sisters and brothers!) and is deeply devoted to his mother, whom, he says, was and continues to be his daily inspiration.

While at home in Brazil, he raises four dogs, two Pugs named Fiji and Akiba, and two Jack Russell Terriers named Gaso and Micah. Romulo loves being able to travel home to Brazil to see his family, friends, and pets, but the eclectic side of him pushes him to travel, and that’s why modeling (along with his exquisite good looks), is his true passion.
