It all started about seven months ago, when Dumas, from Paris, France, asked Reddit users if possessed the skills to star in front of the camera, saying, “Retired but not out, giving a last go to my lifelong dream of becoming a model, do I have it in me?”, attached with photos.

Dumas was formerly a location and unit manager in the French film industry. In an interview with Style Aria, he explained that younger models on set were in awe of his beard and tattoos, which he started acquiring when he was 37.
