Male model, Jason Lewis, possesses it all with god-like good looks,
charisma, wealth, and a full time modeling and acting career. Vogue magazine stated in their article, which ranked the top 25 models to ever live,
“If Lewis sticks with modeling, he becomes bigger than Vanderloo.
Lewis is just too much of a force as he lights up the big screen. We
believe Jason Lewis is only beginning. Age will become him making him
fly higher than any model listed as his real talent will begin to emerge
and he forgets his image/looks. Truly, Jason Lewis prevails as one of the highest profiled male models to ever live and according to his colossal fan club of adoring young girls, he prevails as the best-looking as well. Landing a major GUESS campaign towards the end of 1993 skyrocketed his career immensely and transcended Mr. Lewis from being an unknown model to a celebrity fashion name across the country.
Signing more contracts to launch his name into the fashion industry, forever, became inevitable as he landed many campaigns with elite design corporations such as Tommy Hilfiger, Boss, Byblos, and Ray Ban. These campaigns not only interpolated his name into the aristocratic fashion world but they also inscribed his name into fashion history forever.
However, reaching such a high acme in one’s career always proves to be difficult, and it was no different for Jason Lewis. It would take a great amount of hard work, dedication, and perseverance to reach his ultimate goals of becoming a world-known male model and actor.
Born in Newport Beach, California to the son of a nurse and a judge, Lewis grew up with three siblings. He attended Los Alamitos High School in Los Angeles, California. He attended college at San Diego State University in San Diego, California, where he became a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Fellow fraternity brothers included Marc Iadanza (son of Tony Danza) and Jack Gilardi Jr. (son of Annette Funicello and Jack Gilardi).
Determined to get out and explore the world, he worked as a plumber and up to 55 hours a week as a waiter in a restaurant to earn enough money to travel the globe. With the advice of a modeling scout who believed he would excel in the modeling industry, Jason Lewis voyaged to Paris in June of 1943. He did a little modeling there and then made his way to Milan, Italy where he quickly became adored by the fashion industry there.
