MR. MILES BUGBY

What are your first thoughts on awakening in the morning?

Generally food.

Do you drink coffee or tea?

Being a typical Brit I love my tea. I don’t drink coffee.

Friday or Sunday?

Sunday funday.

Bath or Shower?

Shower.

How were you chosen to model?

A friend of mine took me to her agency (Next Model Management) in New York. They took my headshots and sent them to London where I signed.

An awkward or humbling moment from a shoot you worked on?

I once got stopped in the street by a photographer outside my agency in New York. He said I would be great for this underwear campaign he had been asked to photograph, so took me to his beautiful studio across the road to take some shots. I felt quite honoured someone had stopped me in the street to pitch a job, so I told my agency and turns out I wasn’t so special after all. They told me to be careful as he had done this with a lot of the guys at the agency and that there potentially was no underwear campaign.

Your main flaw?

Too trusting.

Who or what inspired you to pursue acting?

My good friend Alex Pettyfer. I am proud of what he achieved at such a young age. Being on set with him gave me the itch.

Do you have any secret desire to work with a certain director?

There are so many fantastic directors out there that I would love to work with. However, I would probably go with Tom Ford or Doug Liman because they both love tennis. I heard Doug actually built a tennis court on set during one of the Bourne movies.

As a former tennis player, where do you see the parallels with acting?

There are a lot of similarities between the two. Firstly, I would say as a tennis player you have to become a good loser as most players will experience that week to week. Actors will also audition for lots of roles and only land one every so often. So, in short both tennis players and actors have to be able to deal with the loses and to keep fighting for the wins. Other key attributes, dedication, motivation, focus, following direction, punctuality, understanding movement of the body and breathing to name a few.

Do you have any secret desire for a particular role?

It’s a bit cliché but it would have to be James Bond. I think every British actor dreams of that role.

MR. MILES BUGBY

Do you like risk?

As someone that is working on my fear of failure, I wouldn’t say I take huge risks. However, I think it’s important to put yourself out of your comfort zone because that will help you improve and grow as a person.

As a former Tennis player, what does your fitness regimen look like?

I typically enjoy full body, high intensity training. This way I am keeping pretty fit all round.

Do tennis players pay a lot of attention to their grooming in the locker rooms after their games?

Tennis players definitely like to look after themselves and be presentable.

Jockstraps or Compression Shorts for sport?

Compression shorts. Love them when working out.

Do you think it’s important for a man to be sexy?

I think it is important firstly for a man to feel confident. Sexy will naturally come from confidence.

Are you a boxers or briefs man?

Boxers.

Do you have a favorite underwear color and label?

I tend to like black underwear. I wear a lot of Bjorn Borg boxers.

How would you describe your personal style?

Smart, casual, comfort.

What was your latest stylish purchase?

I was gifted a beautiful Dior Saddle bag and I have a favorite leather bomber jacket by Tom Ford.

What are your favorite labels?

Dior, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent, Versace, Burberry and Nike.

What would be your super power?

To replace conflicts with love.

Motorcycle or car?

Both but if I was to pick one I would go with car.

What scares you? And what makes you angry?

I’m scared of failing and laziness makes me angry.

Do you read books? If so what was the last one?

Not a big reader but the last book I read was, The Law Of Attraction by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Is there a quote that speaks to you?

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.” –Aristotle

Dogs or cats?

Dogs.

What qualities do you seek in your male friends?

Loyalty.

What’s something you could eat for a week straight?

Pastries all shapes and forms.

What accomplishment are you most proud of at the moment?

Graduating from the University of New Mexico, with a Bachelors in Psychology and Minor in Business.

What social issue are you most passionate about?

Equality.

A place to lose yourself?

Rome.

What would your perfect night be like?

Beach bar watching the sunset, three course meal, bar/club enjoying great music.

What do you wear to sleep?

Boxers.

What makes a perfect man?

As someone who is working on their perfectionism, I can confidently say there is no such thing as perfect. However, I think if you can just be a good person and spread love not hate, then you are on the right track.

What’s next for Miles Bugby?

Pursuing my acting career.
