GNTM: These participants are already familiar faces
Finally, photos are distributed again: "Germany's Next Top Model" is going into the 14th round today. For many young girls it is a big dream to step into the casting show and finally start with the help of Heidi Klum (45) as a model. Most of the candidates are completely unknown to the public before they attend. But in 2019 there are also a few familiar faces.
Candidate Yara
Yara has already built up a fan base - as an influencer. The 19-year-old girl from Felsberg has been able to collect around 40,000 followers with her fashion, swimwear and lifestyle pictures with her Instagram account _yaraline_. The newly-born high school graduate wants to focus in 2019 first on the modeling and her influencer existence. A special fan is always behind her: her boyfriend Tobias Reuter models full-time and is also in demand on Instagram (480,000 subscribers). "With honesty and her straight kind" Yara wants to shake up the model industry, as she revealed in the ProSieben interview.
Candidate Catharina
Also Catharina from Dortmund can rely on the support of her friend. He is none other than footballer Felix Götze (20), the little brother of Mario Götze (26). But the 19-year-old does not want to stand in his shadow and make a name for himself. "He also says that's my thing, so he does not want to get involved, he has his sport and that's his thing," Catharine told ProSieben. With about 13,000 Instagram subscribers on their catharinamaranca account, the budding model has already built up a small fanbase - which is sure to grow with her "GNTM" participation. Tips for the model business she takes from her mom. She has been working as a model for 17 years.
Candidate Bianca
Bianca-Olivia (23) has something in common with ex-participant Larissa Marolt (26): Both of them were already candidates for "Austria's Next Top Model". While Marolt won the casting show in 2009, Bianca only made it to episode seven in 2015. Now she wants to try her luck again in Germany and become a top model. As a model she is, as her Instagram page reveals, already successful and made it, among other things, on the cover of "Women's Health". Whether she can benefit from her experience and is one step ahead of the candidates? In any case, Bianca is sure that she will convince with her "Austrian charm", as she told ProSieben.
Candidate Enisa
Enisa, who has been living in Hamburg for two years, also wants to emerge as the "GNTM" winner in 2019 at the end. Attentive YouTube fans know the 24-year-old Swede. She is the friend of Simon Desue (27), with 3.9 million followers of one of the most successful German YouTubers. Together with him she produces videos for the portal and works as an Instagram influencer as well as a model. But that's not enough for her: "I want to work as a top model, not just as an influencer," she said in a ProSieben interview.
Candidate Vanessa
Does she even need to fight through the "GNTM" Challenge? Candidate Vanessa has already made it and is already conquering the modeling world, as you can follow on her Instagram account. She already ran for fashion shows and got advertising jobs. Starting with modeling, the 21-year-old already has 14 at the age of 14, as she told ProSieben. One thing is certain: she could become a tough competitor for her fellow combatants.
Whether the candidates will actually have an advantage as a result of their presence on YouTube and Co. or their previous experience in model business will be shown on Thursdays at 8.15 pm on "Germany's Next Top Model" on ProSieben.
