How Hunter McIntyre Became a World Champion | Hunter McIntyre | Ep 59

Yeah.

Was

it

modeling?

Yeah.

First came about? Super random.

So this finger right here was the reason why I got into modeling.

I was training to get on the wrestling team.

I was on academic probation training.

because i had fucked up so much and they weren't letting me wrestle and i don't really understand the reason why but it just was the case so the first semester i couldn't wrestle second semester i was going to try to wrestle 165 and i was already above 200 so i was just pumping iron And, like, I was just learning about nutrition.

I had bought Arnold Schwarzenegger's book, Bodybuilding, you know.

I was just going after it.

And I was getting fucking shredded, dude.

I was just, like, so lean, so diced.

I was doing everything I could to create striations, shape, bulges, and also get super fit for wrestling.

And, you know, I was my own little version of a stud, like 10% of the man I am today.

But I looked good with my shirt off.

I jumped out of my bedroom in my underpants, basically, at a house party that we had at our house.

And this guy looked at me in the face.

He's like, you should be a model.

And I was like, fuck yeah, I should be a model.

And I didn't think anything of it.

I thought we were just drunk and riffing.

And next thing you know, I was on a runway in Providence, Rhode Island, the next week.

And then all of a sudden, that summer, I went down to Miami and I got signed with an agency.
