Fame can be found where you least expect it. Living proof of this is the Philippine Jeyrick Sigmaton, also known as the "carrot man". From a humble and quiet job, he went on to become "discovered" and to represent the world of fashion. Would you have guessed?
He is 21 years old and was harvesting carrots in the mountains of Sagada, in the Philippines. A curious tourist took a picture of him, impressed by his appearance. He shared the image on social media, and it became a huge hit! To the point of drawing the attention of more than one modelling firm.
That is how he earned his nickname. Eventually, he signed a contract with the company Boardwalk and became the face of various advertising campaigns. His fame grew to such an extent as people learned about his simple, but amazing story that he created his own Instagram account to interact with his fans.
Today, the young man has launched his own clothing line to be able to give financial support to his family. A great story to tell!
