| Jolin Tsai's new MV, featuring Tanner as "The Great Artist" |
On one of my business trips to Taiwan last month, I had the fortuitous pleasure of meeting American model Tanner Gerschick through a mutual friend. Having graced the likes of Hollister and Tommy Hilfiger ads, and now featured in Jolin's comeback music video, "The Great Artist" (as the great artist himself) he was pleasantly low-key for someone so ridiculously good-looking. Perhaps a combination of gentle mannerisms- being a sweet southern boy, from Georgia- and a rare deference encountered only with first time foreigners in Asia?
The great artist in action.
Hello.

Before this post turns into a fangirl collage of Tanner's portfolio, I shall restrain myself. Just one more...

Whatever the case, when the humble hunk -yes I did just write that- made a pit stop in Hong Kong before heading to Guangzhou, we happily obliged to showing him around the city. Tourist bucketlist: the Peak - check, even in T3 typhoon weather. Star Ferry/Tsim Sha Tsui promenade - check. Some beach time in Repulse Bay - check. 8am TRX workout on Saturday morning? Then a trip to CoCoon for some weekend ZAO'ing? Naturally. Did I mention he was a good sport about it all?
Would gladly show you around Hong Kong if you deign to visit again, Tanner :) Congrats on your successes in Asia so far and best of luck with your career back in Miami/New York. We'll be checking the billboards for you!
