Mr. Man, the Number One Authority on Male Celebrity Nudity, talks to top male model River Viiperi about this year’s triumphs, challenges, favorite new shows and his ‘third comeback’ in an exclusive new interview with MrMan.
The 29-year old Spanish runway star says that in 2020, “my biggest challenge has been to actually focus on myself and my dreams. I always put my life on pause for other people and that has only led to disappointment and me having to reset my career. Let me tell you, it’s never easy.”
Viiperi, who was born in Ibiza and moved to New York ten years ago to try his hand at a modeling career, didn’t wait long to find work: “My biggest success I’d have to say was booking my first casting, which was for Calvin Klein back in 2010. The same day I landed in New York I was asked to go see them, booked the job, and that’s basically what put me on the map.”
While stuck in quarantine with the rest of the world these past few months Viiperi says that he has “officially watched and re-watched every movie and TV show Netflix has to offer” and misses “the traveling! Getting to discover new countries, new cities, new cultures – all while working – is something I’m very grateful for.”
What’s in store for River’s fans in 2021? “My true goal has always been acting. I recently took on a small role in a film that has been wrapped now and am currently working on a project that I’d LOVE to lock in. When I do, it will hopefully start shooting in April/March of 2021.
“I’ll be able to talk more about it, but as of right now all I can say is that the people who have been following me for the past 10 years will LOVE my role too hahaha,” he says, adding, “Stay loyal, stay healthy, stay positive, and don’t give up on your dreams. Also, follow me on Instagram @RiverViiperi.”
