Ryan Lebar

Hi everyone! My name is Ryan Lebar. I am from a small town called Nipigon, Ontario, Canada (about 1500 people). When my parents separated, I moved to Thunder Bay. It had more people.. not much, but more (it had 150,000). I lived there till I was 18 then moved to Ottawa for a year then I moved to Toronto.

I had a hard upbringing. My dad disowned me and my mom and my brother. When I was young, I had to teach myself a lot. It's hard growing up without a dad. I had none to teach me how to drive or to play sports with.

My mom is the love of my life. I owe everything to her because she's always there for me. I did drugs when I was a teenager then started working out and got off everything. I had a new high -- it was working out and getting my life back. If I had never started working out, I would be dead or in jail right now, I bet. I thank the Lord for directing me to a path of better living. Now, I am closer than ever to my dream of making it big as a model and actor. I don't want people to just say, "wow, he's got a nice body". I want people to know me because of my talents and skills.

I started modeling 4 years ago and love everything it’s done for me. Since then I have won a number of titles in several competitions such as the Hottest Guy in Canada, Mr. Hawaiian Tropic, Mr. Redd Hott International in Jamaica and placed second for the past two years in the Mr. CHIN Bikini competition in Canada. Currently, I am a personal trainer who really enjoys educating and motivating others to reach their goals.

As for professional modeling, I’ve taken part in several assignments, including Alfred Sung’s Spring Collection, Zebra Studios Calendars (Jocks, Dream Guys and Wrecking Crew), Redken, X-treme Razors, the Caffery Van Horne International Hair Show, the Marc Anthony Hair Show and appeared twice on the cover of fab magazine.

My main goal in life is to become a famous and renowned actor. It is something that has always been my dream and I will pursue it to the best of my ability.
