Ryan Terry is a 23 year old plumber who was crowned Mr. Great Britain and took his modelling passion even further by beating 40 other countries for the prestigious title of Mister International 2010 in Jakarta, Indonesia.

In addition to the main title he won the title of ‘Best Body’ beating off the majority of seasoned and professional models. He was crowned by 2009’s title holder, Bruno Kettels of Bolivia, in front of a delighted 1000 strong audience and broadcast to over 200 million viewers around the World.

Ryan is the first European to win the Mister International title, receiving congratulations from across the globe. The win was a huge milestone in his quest to turn from a plumber to a model. Over the last year Ryan has worked closely with USN and has done some modelling work with local modelling agencies and TV adverts.

And finally, The Stunning Angels had the opportunity to interview Ryan. Let us find out a little more about him..

1. What was your main reason to participate in Mister International?

I wanted to test my boundaries and see if I was worthy of such an amazing and prestigious title.

2. What was your first impression as a candidate of Mr. International 2010 when you arrived in Jakarta?

The nerves started to kick in and then I realized just how big the Pageant I had entered was and how life changing it would be for me if I won.

3. Who were your favorites to make it in to the top 15 and who did you believe would be the winner?

I believed that Ireland or Denmark would win my pageant as they were very confident and established models already so I didn’t think I would have a prayer of winning next to them.

4. Once you had won the Mister International 2010 title, what were your main activities?

My main activities were to travel the world and visit the countries that were entering this year pageant, to experience what that country has to offer and the beauty of there country. I would also take part in all of the National pageants, could be judging or interviews.

5. Nowadays, do you still keep in touch with any candidates of Mr. International 2010?

Thanks to the beauty of facebook I manage to keep in touch with a lot of the candidates from mister International 2010.had some great times with them and class them as my friends now.

6. What is your favorite part of your body & why?

My favorite part of my body would be my abdominals because I train them very hard and that’s what most people know me for now, haha.

7. Do u agree with popular belief that a man ruled by his head and a woman by her heart?

Not really thought about it but I would say not because we all have feelings I think which come from both the heart and the head. Well I know I make decisions from both my head and heart.

8. Looks, Intelligence, Wealth… Rank these in order of importance to you in your dreams of woman and why?

I’d like to say personality first as I need to be able to have fun and enjoy my time with her then secondly would like to be attracted to her as well as I would hope they would be back to me and finally I don’t think wealth would come in to it for me as I don’t see how money would make you attracted or fall in love with someone.

9. If u were offered a leading role in a film, which film would u prefer to choose and why?

I would like to be in a action film where I could save the day and the damsel in distress, hahaha. think SUPERMAN! :-)

10. How has your victory changed your life? What different do u feel, that you're as Mr. International 2010 and previously before?

Well I was a plumber before winning the title so my life has changed dramatically. I am a full time model and sponsored athlete so the plumbing tools have been put away in the shed for a while, haha.

11. What your new knowledge and experiences you had since you become Mr. International?

I have been very fortunate since winning the title to travel and see all parts of the world and experience new cultures which have made me realize how lucky I am in life and that I should never take anything for granted.

12. What has been the most difficult part as Mr. International?

Being away from my family for a lot of the year as I am very close to them, also not knowing what you are doing until a couple of days before.

13. What was the one special moment of your year as Mister International 2010 you will NEVER forget?

I will never forget the moment I actually won the title, when I was on stage and I heard my country had won a worldwide competition and how proud I felt. Unforgettable moment seeing my mums face light up when I was lifted up by all of the contestants.

14. Describe your year as Mister International 2010 in just 4 words.

Unforgettable, life changing, Amazing and overwhelming

15. What will you do after crowning your new successor which means your duty as Mr. International is over?

I have sponsors from numerous companies for a few years now so I will pursue my modeling career and hopefully break in to America

16. What do you think about Cesar Curti, the new Mr. International 2011? Did you expect him to win the competition?

Well I have unfortunately not met him so do not know him as a person but he looks fantastic in pictures and looks to be a worthy winner
