Travis Bryant (born: January 21, 1987), is an American former male fashion model, writer, and YouTube personality.
Personal life[]
Travis was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, where he spent most of his childhood with his parents and younger brother, Lance.
At 15, his family encountered some personal problems which eventually led him to leave his parents' home and stay with his grandparents to finish high school. After attending the John F Kennedy High School, Travis attended the University of Oklahoma and eventually transferred to the University of Colorado to pursue a career in journalism.
After high school, he enrolled at the University of Colorado where a model agent scouted him on Myspace and eventually convinced him to move to New York. He modeled for various high-end designers such as Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Perry Ellis. He also appeared on the cover of Oct 2007's magazine.
After moving to Los Angeles, Travis took a job at ABC studios while pursuing a career as a screenwriter. Eventually leaving ABC, he started writing books and screenplays full time.
YouTube[]
Travis' first foray into video blogging was in 2014. After taking a short hiatus, he came back to vlogging in February 2015 and has continued making videos ever since. While generally comedic, Travis has shared a story of his attempted suicide when he was a teen. In November, he posted another inspiring video that talked about when he was kicked out at 15. He has collabed with several YouTubers as well such as Shannon and Cammie, Shane Bitney Crone, Monastero Twins, and Jack Merridew.
Modelling issues[]
In 2017 Travis made a video explaining why he left modelling on his YouTube channel. He talked about sexual harassment from his bosses as well as being treated like an object. He said he had many mental breakdowns and felt like he was not a human anymore.
He also talked about how the photographers would make him play with his penis to make it look big for the camera and the photographers pushing his stomach in to make the picture "better". He had it after his bosses got mad at him for not sleeping with a design which would have helped them.
