21-year-old Benjamin was born in Subotica, Serbia, and grew up in Čantavir, a small village in Vojvodina. He currently lives in Linz, Austria, where he pursues modeling and photography.
“I’ve been playing soccer since I was five years old,” says Benjamin. “And I currently play at a semi-professional level. I started going to the gym in 2019, and training has been a part of my life ever since. During COVID, my friends and I would wake up every morning at 5:40 to play soccer and work out together. That period really taught me discipline and persistence. I’m also very interested in nutrition and mental health. I’d like to become a nutritionist, maybe even work with a professional soccer team.”
“I became independent at a pretty young age. When my parents moved to Austria, I stayed behind in Serbia and had to take care of the house by myself, while traveling to Hungary every day just for soccer practice.”
“Since I started modeling, I’ve worked with photographers and brands, appeared in magazines, and was also featured in a music video. I could spend all day trying on clothes and putting different outfits together. My grandmother used to tell me, ‘My boy, one day the girls are going to be whistling after you.’ Looking back, she was right.”
What’s your workout routine?
I train Monday through Thursday, Friday is game day, and Saturday and Sunday are for rest and recovery. Monday and Tuesday are the toughest days, with soccer practice and gym workouts. Wednesday is mainly about recovery, mobility work, and the sauna. On Thursday, I do a lighter pre-game training session to prepare for Friday.
During the week, I also attend courses and German classes, so I usually take a nap before training. For me, recovery is just as important as the training itself.
On Sundays, I like to slow down, spend time with my family, cook, read, or watch a movie. I also really enjoy going to flea markets with my mom. We always manage to find something interesting together.
Are you single? What are you looking for in a woman?
Yes, I’m single. The first thing I notice is the eyes. I have a real weakness for green eyes because they look wild and mysterious to me — like a cat. I also really like blue eyes because they have a softer, warmer look to me.
Personality is important. I’d like a girl who is kind, respectful, humble, and romantic, with similar lifestyle and interests. Someone who loves traveling, enjoys nature, likes looking at the stars, and simply knows how to enjoy life.
What’s the best place to have sex?
Somewhere private and comfortable. The bedroom, the bathroom, in front of a mirror, by the pool, or in the bathtub.
Tell us something nobody knows about you
Even though I usually eat healthy, I love a good cheat meal. Sometimes I’ll buy a huge bag of nachos with cheese sauce, put on a movie, and devour the whole thing. I also love Hungarian poppy seed noodles.
I love making people laugh, and I’m really into imitating things. For example, if I hear a bird, I’ll just start making bird sounds. The biggest thing people would never guess about me at first: I’m not a fuckboy. I might look like one, but I’m actually the opposite.
