Tyson Ballou - Hottest Man on the Planet?

Tyson Ballou was born and raised in Garland Texas. When he was just 9 years old, his father died in a horrific accident, crushed by a car he was trying to fix. Being the eldest of 3, Tyson rose to the challenge of becoming the eldest man in the household. Perhaps this chapter in his life accounts for his quiet and serious nature. At school, a major interest was basketball, a sport he still follows keenly. When he was 15, his mom accompanied him on a trip to Dallas, to see Susan Kaleta of the Page Parkes modeling agency. The professional's eye noted Tyson chiselled and handsome features, and persuaded him to work for her agency on a part-time basis. So Tyson got his first small break, modeling for well-known names like JC Penney's and Foley's.

After high-school Tyson joined up to study at Richard College. But just half-way through the course, a scout from the prestigious Ford modeling agency approached him offering a lure of lucrative work in New York. Tyson dropped out of college, and spent a good deal of time travelling back and forth to America's fashion capitol. A year afterwards, Tyson transferred to the IMG agency, agreeing to station himself full time in New York.

Tyson's career took off. His unmistakeable style and charisma on the catwalk attracted the attention of all the top fashion houses. He's since gone on to model for all the big names, including Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Armani and Versace.

At home, away from the fashion merry-go-round, Tyson is still a quiet reflective type. His plans for the future? Acting perhaps, and to quote Tyson himself 'I would love to have a wife and a few kiddies'.
