Philip Fusco for MASCU

It seems like Phil's been everywhere lately (magazine covers, spreads,
underwear lines, etc.) Well he deserves the attention. He's one of the
most unique and photogenic male models I've worked with in a while.
It's only fitting I have him as the opener for new MASCU blog.

INTERVIEW WITH PHIL FUSCO FOR MASCU:

You've done a lot of fitness
work lately, how does doing fitness compare with doing more
edgy/fashion?I love doing fitness and I also love
edgy fashion...with fashion I feel a little more classy in front of the
camera as I wear a little more than a single piece of underwear. Plus
the nice clothes are definitely a plus.

How did you get started in modeling? What was the driving force?I started modeling because of a
company that picked me up when i was 17 years old. This was all a
result of my hard work in the gym since I've been 14 years old. My
driving force is definitely the fact that I use to be a skinny small kid
and I wasn't really satisfied with that look, I felt like i needed to
upgrade myself.Where do you see yourself in
this industry in 3 to 5 years?
Hopefully in some sort of Hollywood
acting profession, maybe on billboards, definitely don't want to picture
myself as a bum who is doing nothing with himself.What was your MASCU photo
shoot experience like, working with Michael Downs?
Michael Downs is
great. He knows how to get the job done but also at the same time
incorporate some fun into the job.
