GRANT Pearce is making the girls blush.
The Wandong heartthrob recently won Blush Photography’s Hottest Hunk modelling competition to become the face of the Melbourne and Sydney Sexpo.
He has since featured in television commercials and billboards, and will appear on the front cover of the new magazine, Australian Natural Bodies.
The 27-year-old fell into the modelling industry after he was scouted while a female friend was being cast.
“I had great fun and I made new friends along the way,” he said.
“I never thought I would win the competition - it was a tough contest against so many well-ripped blokes.”
Grant and 48 other men had to vie for attention to get as many votes as they could at the 2009 Melbourne Sexpo and through an online poll.
The 12 men with the most votes made it to the final to compete in a fully choreographed runway show at Barkly Hotel, St Kilda, with celebrity judges.
“I can honestly say it was one of the best moments of my life,” he said.
“I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face for days. It was a bit surreal.”
