There are a lot of things people don't know about Marc Nelson. He studied in Australia and graduated with a Science degree in Human Geography, a course similar to Social Anthropology. He has taught gymnastics, sold hi-fi audio-video equipment, tutored Bulgarians in English and worked as a bartender, concierge and newspaper boy.
Nelson says he's between the ages of 15 and 50. He lives in a condo unit. Alone. He does his own cooking, cleaning and grocery. His laundry he sends to the Laundromat. He says that's the way he was brought up. The multi-racial hunk is an exotic mix of English, Scottish, Burmese, Thai and Chinese. Literally a man of the world, he has lived in Sydney, Tanzania, Kenya, Tasmania, Hong Kong, Canada, the U.S. and the Philippines.
The Sports Unlimited host and Bench model writes a weekly advice column for the Philippine Star. In a recent chat with HealthToday, Nelson shows he's got the brains and the brawn to defy the beefcake stereotype.
How was it like growing up and constantly moving from country to country?
Were you already into modeling before you came to the Philippines?
I think more people should be getting more protein especially if they're living an active lifestyle. If they want to build up their muscles, they need protein. But they still need carbs for energy. I think Filipinos need to cut down on their rice-they eat way too much rice.
