Jordan Barret, a fashion model who rose to prominence overnight, is now one of the top male models of his generation. Models.com named him Model of the Year in 2016, and Vogue dubbed him the ‘Model It Boy of the New Era.’
Jordan made his acting debut as Franky Whiteout in “Wetiko,” a fantasy adventure set to be released in November 2022. If you’re curious about him, we’ll tell you the whole truth about this so-called ‘wild child’ of the modeling industry.
Early life, family, and education
Born Jordan Kale Barret under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius on 2 December 1996, in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia, he holds Australian nationality and his ethnicity is White.
Except for the fact that his father, Adrian, was sentenced to eight years in prison when Jordan was 16, little is known about his parents any siblings. Adrian, who was reportedly referred to as a drug cartel boss, and was jailed for a marijuana trafficking operation.
Jordan stated that he dislikes the term ‘cartel’ after media outlets began questioning him about his father. He went on to say that his hometown has farms, and that his father happens to be good at growing plants.
When it comes to his education, Jordan matriculated from high school in 2014, and he didn’t go to college.
Modeling career
Jordan was scouted by a model agent when he was 14 years old, and signed for IMG Australia modeling agency.
Jordan enjoys telling the story of the night the agent approached him. Jordan wanted to smoke a cigarette, but didn’t have a lighter, and you have to be over the age of 18 to buy one, so he stole matches.
When the agent approached him and asked him how to contact his parents, Jordan assumed it was because of shoplifting, and when the agent simply gave him his contact information and left the store, Jordan thought it was strange. However, when he returned home, he talked with his parents, and soon signed up with a modeling agency.
In 2015, he moved to New York City, USA, and there modeled for IMG New York.
Jordan was featured in men’s fashion magazine VMAN, and graced the covers of numerous magazines, including CR Book, Wonderland Magazine, Vogue Netherlands Man, and The London Times.
