Twan Kuyper

Beginning his career at the age of 16, with his cute looks and fitness regime, Twan easily made it for himself in the modeling world. He was a vital part of several photo shoots, print campaigns and runway and fashion shows. In 2013, he moved to South Florida, USA in order to pursue his career in modelling. It is here, that he was introduced to Vine by his best friend Lele Pons and on the same day he gained 80 thousand followers and within a week he had a fan following of one million. The fame harnessed from his first video encouraged Twan to keep posting videos and his followers soon multiplied. In 2015 he appeared in the movie ‘Fifth Harmony: Worth It, PARODY’ that landed him roles in ‘Woman on the Edge’ and ‘The Broken Record’ in 2016.

If ravishing looks and ‘take home to mumma’ qualities aren’t enough to make this Vine star and model special, then adding values of humility and gratitude to this celebrity should certainly do the bit. This is what Twan has to say about his success - “I am fortunate to have already experienced many aspects of the industry and I look forward to continue learning and growing as a model.” Having befriended Lele, Rudy Mancuso, Christian Delgrosso, Bart Baker, Alec Bailey, Hayes Grier and Nash Grier in numerous Vine videos in a short span makes him one of the most popular Viners of all time.

Twan is a student of Business Administration; even though he is not an entrepreneur, he uses his knowledge in campaigning and endorsing brands. In an interview with Forbes he mentions that the only way to be the face of a brand is to create content that is original and fan-centric. He emphasizes on marketing that loops his fans into his branding strategy, like promising to follow a fan on ‘Twitter’ or meeting a fan. This helps him to connect and be a true social influencer. On a personal front, Twan is compassionate; he believes in cooperation and assisting peers and refrains from green eyed jealousy. In an interview he said, “Look at Vine and you’ll see Viners in each other’s Vines, every day. I think that it’s so great to not be jealous, and just jump in and help each other.”
