Who is Tom Ford's Man: Cuban born Juan Betancourt?

 

The 6′ 3″ Juan Betancourt was born in La Havana, Cuba and is repped by Elite Barcelona.
According to models.com, Juan was discovered walking on the street and Edgar, from Elite Barcelona, literally assaulted me. Mmm?

Juan enjoys playing tennis, traveling, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends and his favorite places in the world are Rome, Milan, Venice and New York.
His favorite modeling experience so far was the first time he saw himself in a magazine!

Juan Betancourt, from the Cuban capital Havana, was scouted closer to our shores on the beach in Barcelona whilst on holiday back in January 2011.

Since then he’s shot various editorials but it was summer of 2013 that Juan hit the headlines landing Tom Ford’s Fall/Winter ’13 campaign and grooming campaign.
