In a fairly unusual move, French magazine Têtu picked a French model for their November cover. Steeve Beckouet lensed 19-year-old Roman, who got signed by a modeling agency only a few weeks ago — an underwear campaign is in the making. He lives in the working-class Paris suburb of Le Blanc-Mesnil and trains in several martial arts — he says he enjoys “physical contact”.

Roman also has a passion for music. He sings, drums, plays the guitar, and… Enough. We’re officially smitten.

A few more shots in the gallery, including our two exclusives.
