JANIS OSTOJIC [GROWING UP SUPERMODEL]
Who is Janis Ostojic in the eyes of his family and friends?
They see me as a very dedicated person who pushes his limits as high as his dreams go. There is always room for improvement. Besides that I'm a VERY happy person whose smile makes other people laugh. Very positive, disciplined and respectful.
id you initially intend to become a model?
Well, I can’t be sure about that because I grew up with both of my parents modeling so I myself became a model at a very young age. What I can be sure of is that I was never forced or pushed to do anything I didn’t want to do! I wanted it all by myself.
Is there a lot more pressure on you to do well in this industry having famous model parents?
I just don’t want to disappoint them. I pulled them across the world doing what I love to do. They have followed me and supported me all the way through. So yes, it might have some impact.
Tell us more about the show, “Growing Up Supermodel.”
It’s about children who grew up with famous parents in the entertainment industry (modeling/acting/tv shows). We might have famous parents but that doesn’t make it easy to become a supermodel. It takes a lot more than a name.
