should do it, so I did it.

King Danesio: Cancer

MMO: Kisses or Hugs?
King Danesio: Hugs.

MMO: Nickname?
King Danesio: On the football field, it's "D Pretty" because I'm always making sure I'm on point before I come out of the locker room.

MMO: What is your favorite "around the house" lounge wear?
King Danesio: My boxer briefs and no shirt of course.

MMO: French fries or Salad?
King Danesio: Uhhhhh salad, but fries sounds good too! LOL

MMO: Tell us one thing about yourself that would surprise people that know you?
King Danesio: That I really understand spanish more than I pretend not to know.

MMO: Can you play chess?
King Danesio: No. I never took interest in chess.

MMO: If you won $100 million tomorrow, what charitable organization would you donate money too?
King Danesio: The Multiple Sclerosis Organization,
since my mother had it for many years.

MMO: What is your favorite meal to cook for someone?
King Danesio: Grilled chicken breast strips, and I can make some really good macaroni and cheese!

MMO: What do you consider to be your greatest physical asset?
King Danesio: My eyes...at least that's what I'm always told.

MMO: What are your goals in the modeling world?
King Danesio: I would like to do some work for G-Unit and Sean John fashionwear.

MMO: If you could change something about the world, what would it be?
King Danesio: Discover a cure for every sickness that is out there. I know there's a cure for everything but the way our world is today, it's more profitable for people to die from a disease than to save a life. ("POLITICS")

MMO: If you could have lunch with anyone who would it be?
King Danesio: John Singleton. So I can convince him to put me in his next movie because all of his movies rock! But most importantly, he makes movies that everyone can feel and understand especially in the African American community.

MMO: What (3) words best describe you?
King Danesio: Smart, Strong, and Determined

MMO: What are the pros and cons of the modeling world?
King Danesio: The pros in the modeling field is that you get to travel and see different cultures around the world and you're treated really good. The cons of the modeling industry is that it's a cutthroat business. It's all about survival and trying to strive forward. You must always be prepared to take constructive criticism because you're not always what they're looking for. If you can't take none of these cons, please keep your 9 To 5! LOL!

MMO: Who is your role model in the modeling industry?
King Danesio: Tyson Beckford for raising the bar for African American male models in the 1990s.

MMO: What best distinguishes you from the other male models in the industry?
King Danesio: Well, it's obvious that I'm not your everyday 5'10" 175lb. "Joe". I'm 6'4" and 255lbs. Before my scheduled photoshoots, I drop down to 225lbs. I was 5'11" and 175lbs. in the 8th grade!

MMO: What is your most exciting experience in the modeling world?
King Danesio: So far, being able to produce and own my 2007 King Danesio Calendar. (www.danesio.com)

MMO: If you could be photographed anywhere in the world, where would that be?
King Danesio: Puerto Rico and Hawaii because of the clear water.

MMO: What has been the most exciting place that you have traveled?
King Danesio: I traveled to Europe to run track with The Youth U.S.A Team 16-18yr old Division, when I was in high school.
