From: The Underwear Expert
On a Saturday night last week, we received a Facebook message from one of our favorite photographers, Specular. “Thought you may like this one :) ” it read. Below those words, a video of model Jordan Steele falling into water was attached. After watching the video, we just knew we had to introduce this relatively new talent to you. When we began setting up the interview, we found out that the model was engaged, had two daughters, and hailed all the way from Scotland. A former builder, Steele began modeling after being named Mr. Scotland in a competition set up by No. 1 magazine.
When we rang him last Friday morning, which was around evening time in Glascow, he was in the process of driving home. After taking some time to get home, we rang him again. “I know I probably have an American accent,” our reporter said. “So, you may need to ask me to repeat myself.” “That’s quite alright,” he joked back in a charmingly, thick sottish accent. “I’m pretty sure you will be the one that won’t be able to understand me.”
As the conversation went on, the self proclaimed “nice guy” emerged from the proverbial waters and told us about how having two daughters at a young age made him grow up really fast, his favorite brand of whisky, and how modeling underwear in freezing cold temperatures is far beyond glamorous.

Before modeling, I was…a builder for three years. Then Mr. Scotland happened. My partner had sent a picture of me in to No. 1 Magazine for the competition. I got a phone a call from the editors. I didn't know I was in it and thought it was a joke. So, I didn't get back to them. Then, I got another voice mail to come in for an interview. I was supposed to go to work that day but the site got closed down. So, it was kind of like fate. I went into the offices and met with the current Mr. and Mrs. Scotland at the
time. They told me I had to wait for a phone call to see if I got it. Sure enough, I got the phone call. I won a contract with a modeling agency, a holiday, and some vouchers for shopping.
After I became Mr. Scotland…I got published in No.1 Magazine and had to go to the agency to speak to them about me pursuing modeling. One of the owners was honest with me when I asked her if I had any chance in modeling to pick up some extra money. She told me I had to watch what I was eating, take care of my skin, grow out my hair, and groom myself better. I went away for three months and did what I had to. I got some portfolio pictures done and sent them to the agency. After that, I started getting more modeling jobs and things got really busy. I never worked as a builder again.
When I workout, I wear…Nike Pro shorts. It’s good support.
My favorite photo shoot…in terms of images, was the one I just did with Specular. I’ve been trying hard this past six months to get into great shape. I wanted to get signed to an agency in London. Chris (Specular) can just see the way a picture is going to work. The pictures came back really good and my agency was really happy with them.
