This Dude Was Homeless — Until Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner Turned Him Into a Model

Dec 16 2015 - 1:05pm

Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner are known for doing virtually everything together: runway hopping at Fashion Week, making their debut as Victoria's Secret Angels [1], going on fro-yo runs [2], and now, apparently, turning homeless skateboarders into models.

The dynamic model duo can be credited for discovering the "Romeo of Venice Beach" (aka John Economou), a 20-year-old rising star they encountered on the beach while filming a commercial. After his good looks caught their attention, Gigi and Kendall connected John with big-time modeling agency Two Management.

Get a closer look at John and get used to seeing that face — it's about to be everywhere.
