#MotivationMonday: Our Favorite Male Models Share Their Inspiring Words Of Wisdom

Here's the real Maxwell Zagorski story. Maxwell ("Max" to friends) tested out his all-American good looks doing local modeling his sophomore year of high school in Sarasota, Florida. He signed with a Tampa agency his senior year and was sent down to Miami to shoot a new comp card with photographer Scott Teitler. Good things happen to good people? (A friend of Max's confirms he's extremely generous and loyal.) Teitler sent over the images to photographer Bruce Weber; a week later, the handsome model's agency called to say that Abercrombie & Fitch wanted him. Spring 2006 A&F campaign, face of the A&F brand, a move to NYC, and Ralph Lauren ads later, Maxwell is currently pursuing both modeling and acting. A devoted Green Bay Packers football fan, this "work hard, play hard" guy is inspired by sports. Confidently secure in his masculinity, he posts muscular workout photos mixed up with endearing ones of his "teammates," his lovely wife Candice and their lil chihuahua Boo who suffered a stroke over the summer. (Isn't that video the sweetest thing?) Wonder what Maxwell—with his looks and wonderful warm personality—can be as an actor with the right teammates (manager, agent, publicist) working nonstop with him.
