Cincinnati, Ohio –Eric Bryant appears in the recently released 2014 edition of “Man of the World” magazine as a featured male model. The 2012 Loveland High School graduate performed with the Loveland High School show choir in the World Choir Games that summer in Cincinnati. He was on his way to his freshman season as a pole vaulter with the University of Cincinnati track and field team. Becoming an international male model was not on his mind. “I never thought of it, not once ever,” Bryant said. “In high school, I was in show choir. Parents from other show choirs would always come up to me and ask ‘Hey, are you a model?’ I just thought mom’s thought I was cute. It was kind of weird. I never thought too much of it.” Bryant began his freshman year as a member of the U.C. track team with an All-American pole vaulter ahead of him. That meant Bryant would not be traveling or competing. He wasn’t where he wanted to be and decided to take second semester off from track. Suddenly, Bryant found himself with no money and 20 hours of free time. “I thought maybe I’ll give this modeling thing a shot to see if I could make a couple bucks here and there,” Bryant said. He went to his good friend Ben Hoffman, a fellow Loveland High School graduate and actor. Hoffman told Bryant to check into Wings Model Management in Cincinnati. He and his mother met with Jake, the same Wings agent who represents Ben. He immediately told Eric he should be working in New York or Europe. Bryant and his mom, Sylvia Hoffmann, were skeptical, thinking the agent probably says that to everybody. more
