Chad and Keelan Brissett are probably
the most well-known identical twins in Durban. Their modelling career has
rocketed in just a few short years and this is no doubt thanks to their
relationship with one another that has evolved into the #BrissettTwins brand.
We
got to know the brothers ahead of the #ProjectScouted Phase Twelve shoot where
the twins will be posing with our Top 5 beauties in the "Day of the
Dead" concept shoot shot by Jerome Stoffels.
Lee Folkard
Photography: Who is Chad Brissett without his twin brother?
Chad: Chad Brissett is a
young career-driven guy who enjoys the world of fashion as well as nature and
all things beautiful. He is someone who enjoys all spheres of life and enjoys
experiencing new things that he isn’t accustomed too.
Lee Folkard
Photography: Who is Keelan Brissett wirhout his
twin brother?
Keelan: Well, I'd say that I'm a very driven person who
loves to keep busy and excel in everything that I do. I really love fashion and
not just because I model but I just want to feel good all the time and quality
clothing does it for me. I'm generally a very chilled, laid-back guy but I do
have a wild, fun side which comes out every so often.
LFP: What do you think
about the "Day of the Dead" concept for the #ProjectScouted Top 5 shoot?
Chad: I personally am a guy
who enjoys more of the happy, fun style of shooting which is complete opposite
to this shoot. But I believe it’s awesome to broaden your horizons so I
think the shoot will be really fun and it’s always nice to try
something different.
LFP: How did you become
involved in the #ProjectScouted Top 5 shoot?
Keelan: #ProjectScouted has
been trending everywhere and luckily enough I've had the privilege to meet and
spend time with the talented Lee Folkard. I've seen him at all the big events
and he is often with many friends that I know so it was bound to happen that we’d work together. I'm
very happy to be able to take part in #ProjectScouted, it’s also an ego-booster
to have Lee Folkard want to work with us.
LFP: What's it like being
an identical twin?
Chad: It’s honestly the most
amazing thing ever! People always say there’s nothing like a
mother’s love for her child but I would say a twin's love is beyond
the boundaries of love; it’s a connection that is unbreakable. My
twin brother is my best friend, barber, stylist, psychologist, etc.
LFP: What's the worst
thing about being an identical twin?
Keelan: In all honesty,
there's not much I dislike about being a twin but the worst thing I'd say is if
there's something available and there's only one of it, then Chad and I would
have to fight over it which tends to happen more than I'd like.
LFP: How did you form
your own identity when you have an identical twin?
Chad: It’s quite hard for us
as we are both so closely linked. But we do have different personalities as
much as they are similar and I think once people have taken the initiative to
get to know us they will realize we are different and do portray our own
identities.
LFP: Do you think that
you and your brother will be able to carry the #BrissettTwins brand forward
until you're much older?
Keelan: I really do believe
we will, we’ve just started building the #BrissettTwins brand and we
have so many ideas and goals we want to achieve and that means pushing it
through even until we’re older. The brand and name can never
disappear as long as we’re alive so I'm almost certain we’d find away to get
the #BrissettTwins trending through the ages
LFP: How did you begin
modelling and how did the decision happen to market you and your brother as the
#BrissettTwins?
Chad: We started modeling
about 3 years ago which we really loved. We created a strong bond with our
former agent who helped catapult our career in the modeling world. We basically
realized that us together was not just a team, but that we are a label which
can be used to be marketed to the world. And people seem to be loving it so
far!
LFP: Is there any
jealousy or sibling rivalry between you two?
Keelan: We don’t have jealousy or
rivalry at all actually, we are however competitive with each other and want to
beat each other when it comes to sport to campus marks, etc. This competitive
nature is actually good because it keeps us pushing at a high intensity and
grows us as people together.
LFP: How are you and your
brother different?
Chad: We are really not so different at all.
I would say in terms of physical attributes, I am a bit taller and I have a
beauty spot on my nose. But in other aspects I would say he is more of a neat
freak as opposed to myself.
LFP: Have you guys ever
pulled a prank on someone or fooled someone?
Keelan: Many times, but more
so in our younger days. I remember we pulled an infamous twin-prank on a girl
where we swapped clothes and she had no idea. The details I would have to share
in person, though.
LFP: What's the
funniest/weirdest thing that has ever happened to you guys because you're
twins?
Chad: Well, we had exams
and we wrote for each other before and it was awesome as we could study for one
test less. Also when we get stopped by the police while driving, we sometimes
use each other's license. (LFP: These guys definitely have a
naughty streak!)
LFP: What do you want the
world to remember about you?
Keelan: My humble nature and
respect I have for all people.
LFP: What's the one thing
you want people to know about you?
Chad: I'm just a really
humble guy.
There
is no doubt that these guys, combined with our beautiful Top 5 models and
Jerome's photography skills, are going to make our Phase Twelve shoot all the
more memorable as #ProjectScouted draws to a close.
