MARCUS SCHENKENBERG - BRAND NEW SPECIES - Ep 2 "SUPER NATURAL - FASHIONING THE IDEAL MAN" Series

SEMI-FINALIST STOCKHOLM FILM FESTIVAL 2022 Marcus Schenkenberg is an accomplished Swedish model, who has also expanded his career as an actor, a TV personality, a writer, and a singer. Widely regarded as the first-ever male supermodel, this tall and handsome hunk was spotted in his early 20s while he was roller-skating on Venice Beach. His modeling career, spanning over two decades, has witnessed him adorning covers of renowned magazines. He has also worked for prestigious designer brands, such as ‘Donna Karan New York’ (DKNY) and ‘Versace,’ and shot with famous supermodels, such as Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. Presently associated with ‘Ford Models’ and ‘Soul Artist Management’ in New York, Marcus was one of the most sought-after and highest-paid models in the 1990s. He is probably best recognised for his ‘Calvin Klein’ commercials of the early 1990s. He turned heads with the ‘Calvin Klein’ shower-scene commercial which showed him holding only a pair of wet ‘Calvin’ jeans. He forayed into acting in the late 1980s and appeared in films, such as ‘Prince Valiant’ and ‘Multiple Sarcasms.’ He has also featured in various international TV programs, such as ‘V.I.P.,’ ‘The Surreal Life,’ and ‘the Bambi.’ The song ‘La Chica Marita,’ which he had casually recorded for a friend, got him an ‘EMI’ contract. It became a big hit and made its way to the soundtrack of the film ‘Flawless.’ SUPER NATUrAL Series What’s the recipe for the ideal man ? A dash of charm, 5% body fat and shredded
