Sunny is 20 year old, to turn 21 (this month) model from Bondi, Sydney ( where many cool people come from hehe.. you'll know why I say that one day in a later post) who has only been modeling for a year. He seems laid back and easy and I find him funny - that's probably because I've been watching videos on his Facebook and the KFC ad that he's in is funny aswell.

His face stood out to me and here he is.
