Alex: one of the First of the Male SuperModels.

Alex Lundqvist (born 14 April 1972) is a male Swedish model. He is a professional paintball player for the team Jersey Authority in the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) and formerly Russian Legion in the Paintball Sports Promotion (PSP) National X Ball League (NXL). He is also the brother of professional paintball player Maximus Lundqvist of Stockholm Joy Division. He currently resides in New York.
 
His modeling career began in the summer of 1994, when he met photographer Bruce Weber and Sean Patterson, a Wilhelmina agent, who tracked him down after spotting his photo in an obscure publication.




Immediately, Versace booked him for a worldwide campaign with Helena Christensen shot by Bruce Weber. This led to doing the Lagerfeld campaigns in Europe and Guess in the US.
 

He has appeared in magazines such as GQ, Playgirl, Elle, L'Uomo Vogue, Top Model and was interviewed on MTV's "House of Style" with his best friend and fellow model Mark Vanderloo.
 
He was chosen for the 1995 Guess campaign with Laetitia Casta and Valeria Mazza. He is signed to Wilhelmina Models in NYC. Currently he has been spotted as being Fergie's boyfriend in Fergie's new video, "Clumsy."

He speaks fluent English, Swedish and German and a bit of Italian and French.
The Swedish sensation exploded onto the modeling scene with the compelling blend of rugged good looks and winning personality. His versatility and professionalism combined with one of the best physiques in the business appealed to a whole range of clients, from Versace, Guess and Lagerfeld to Hugo Boss.




One of the first of the male supermodels of the 90's, Alex remains to this day, a fixture in an industry that remains loyal to those who can always deliver the "shot".
