EYE GANDY FELT ‘UNUSUAL’ WITHOUT HIS MAKEUP

David Gandy admitted it was “unusual” for him not to be wearing make-up for his latest shoot.

The 41-year-old supermodel was instructed by a group of children during a photoshoot to promote a children’s smartwatch, Neo.

In a behind-the-scenes clip, he said: “There was no actual make-up applied to my face, which I thought was a bit unusual. It was probably the strangest event of my fashion career.”

Gandy – who became a father for the first time to daughter Matilda in 2018 – was challenged to channel some of Disney’s best-loved characters, including Elsa from Frozen. The shoot was led by an 8-year-old photographer. | Bang Showbiz

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, Matt said: “Times change but I actually didn’t have a problem with the way we were doing it.
