Tyson Beckford Trivia | ||||
|
* He's usually pretty busy but decided to sit this one out to make a statement: There aren't enough black male supermodels, and he did not want to be a token.
* Ralph Lauren hired him in 1993 to represent his Polo Sport line exclusively, pushing him into the modeling stratosphere. * He took acting classes and was up for a role in the film HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK. * Beckford is definitely not waiting tables while waiting for a film career to take flight--he's strutting the New York runways, working on a new exercise video and posing for a series of calendars. * Was considered for the role of Winston in HOW STELLA GOT HER GROOVE BACK. * His exotic looks can be attributed to the fact that his father is half Jamaican and half Chinese and his mother has Panamanian ancestry. * Was involved in gangs, drugs and theft when he was a teenager. * Featured in Toni Braxton's video for Unbreak My Heart. * Appeared in music videos for artists Mia X, Notorious B.I.G., and Shaquille O'Neal.
