Spanish Model Diego Villarreal Strips Down


Diego Villarreal

Spanish model Diego Villarreal isn’t shy in front of the camera, or behind it, or without it, for that matter. The 21-year-old aspiring photographer began modeling at the age of 16 when he moved from Madrid to America with his mother, who was also a model. “Don’t expect much from this,” she told him. “It’s all fun and games, but make sure you know that it’s also work.” Somehow, Villarreal has found a way to mix work and pleasure. Most recently, he walked in Alexander Wang‘s cannabis-themed fall show at New York Fashion Week and would later star in the brand’s campaign alongside Molly Bair. “I love weed,” he said nonchalantly in a recent interview, also listing the drug is a part of his beauty routine. Clearly, it’s working.
