Ah, I love writing about British model David Gandy. He’s just so pretty, and I just get so tired of writing about some “celebrities” – David’s a nice break. I’m kind of surprised by how long Gandy can go without doing any interviews – I mean, obviously, he’s just being paid to look pretty and pose, but still, he’s arguably the biggest male model in the world. Give an interview every two months or so! So Gandy appears on the cover of the new Men’s Health UK. The interview is awesome – he talks about his breakup with Mollie King (who probably just got dumped by Prince Harry), and he talks in general terms about what a neurotic mess he is. Whatever, ladies. I find neurotic messes very attractive. And he’s anal retentive too! Kismet.

Workouts: “I can’t train in the morning. I’ve never been a morning person. It will always be late afternoon to late evening: about four o’clock or after a day of work at 9.30pm. That’s when I feel most energetic. But everyone is different. You have to read your own body.”

His diet: “I’m not hugely strict. I don’t really believe in dedicating your life [to a diet] as some do. My mum used to say I hum when I eat and I still do. I’m happiest when I’m eating but I do eat good stuff. I keep away from certain foods – anything white, anything processed, anything in a packet. The other thing is to beware when things say ‘low fat’, because they often have more sugar or salt as a result. One thing I always have to hand is a wholewheat wrap – great to chuck in with a few raw vegetables, a bit of chicken and hummus. It takes two minutes. I eat raw vegetables like there’s no tomorrow.”

Alcohol: “I love my booze. My job involves a lot of socialising so I probably drink more than a lot of people think. I like red wine, but if I have anything else I’ll have a double vodka, lots of ice, lots of fresh lime. Clean alcohol. The cleaner the spirit the better you feel – especially the next day if you want to work out.”

Going crazy on the biscuits (actual biscuits): “I do enjoy a few biscuits, but I’ll always feel guilty at the end of the day. I’ll never really go crazy. My motto is that whatever you put into your body, you’ve got to work out.”

On hating his looks: “In terms of my looks, I’m very self-critical: I hate my hair, my lips, my nose. And I can’t grow a full beard. People assume I think more of myself than I actually do.”

On being an outsider: “I’ve never really fitted in anywhere. I’ve always felt a little on the sidelines, like I never fit into one category.”

On his intelligence: “I’m clever in many respects, but not academically. I wouldn’t be doing this job if I could be a vet.”

On not making friends in fashion: “I can’t say I have many [friends] from the fashion industry. I’ve been modeling for 10 years, so that says quite a lot.”

On why he broke up with his last girlfriend: “My perfectionism can make it difficult. I know my ex-girlfriend [Saturday’s singer Mollie King] struggled. Things have to be perfect — everything in the house, every car I buy. That’s incredibly hard to live with if you don’t understand it.”

So he broke up with Mollie King because she didn’t understand that everything has to PERFECT? God, he really does seem like a piece of work, doesn’t he? Neurotic, beautiful bastard. I love him. Be mine, David.

Men’s Health UK has a video of David explaining his workout as well. Is it okay to admit that I watched this like I was viewing p0rn? No? OK, I take it back. *pulls up pants*
