INSTINCT's Bobby Boyd - Model Behavior


Humble. Down to earth. Intellectual. Not the first descriptors that generally come to mind when you think about fashion models. But, then again, this month’s cover guy, Bobby Boyd isn’t your typical male model. The handsome (humble, down to earth and intellectual) northern California native—who has experienced nearly every Zoolander-esque scenario imaginable—sits down with us to dispel stereotypes and demystify what it means to be one of the beautiful people.

INSTINCT: Okay, I’ll just get right down to it. You’re absolutely gorgeous. I bet you get that all the time.

BOBBY BOYD: Thank you, but no. In L.A. everyone is like ten times hotter.

How did you get into modeling?

I was just walking down the street and a scout approached me and asked if I wanted to model. I said no at first but after I met some of the other guys, I decided it would be a good way to help me pay for college.

What did you study?

International Business at San Francisco State.

Who is worse to deal with—male models or female models?

It’s 50/50. But I get along with female models better because the guys have too much ego.

But you’re not one of those self-centered male models, right?

I’m too humble for my own good. Not that I’m such a great person or anything, but I just don’t see myself as what some people might say.
