The modeling industry is a tough nut to crack, especially if you don't have the emotional stability to put up with glaring eyes and constant judgment.

But this young model's teary eyes made him something of a star at the Smalto fashion show in Paris, Fashionista reports.

He is a young boy who is obviously unhappy with the situation at hand. He probably has no control over whether he wants to be a model either.

That being said, the kid really has nice cheekbones for someone that age, but he should be able to make the decision if modeling is a career path he wishes to chose.

I wouldn't be crying because I'm holding Alexandre Cunha's hand. But I guess for this kid to be forced to put on makeup is kind of horrifying. He is a boy and not girl after all.

This unfortunate incident occurred when one Epsilon child got mixed up with the rest of Alphas and Betas.

I can't blame him for crying there. Those horrible clothes he had to wear, stage fright, knowing a bunch of eyes are watching you, etc. Yeah I wouldn't know where to start here, I'd cry too.

It's no longer fun for the child when you see them crying while walking down a runway. The parents should stop this nonsense immediately. But I doubt that- it's the parent's dream, not uaually the child's dream to be in the spotlight.

If I was being forced to be paraded like some freak on a leash, I'd be just a little upset about to. In fact, I'd probably be dragged out there kicking and screaming.

It looks like the kid didn't wanted to be there, besides he's too young for this things.

No but I am an adult. This handsome little guy is probably being pushed by his parents and he is obviously not a ham for crowds and camera's. I think his parents are probably the greedy type that are cashing in on their son while they can make him do something he obviously isn't happy with.

I'm an extremely shy person, but if I was able and/or had to walk down a professional runway, I wouldn't cry. That's something grown people DREAM about, feel lucky you got a chance to do it, and don't ruin it with tears!!

im not exactly sure what he was crying for, if it was because of what he has to do the modeling thing and he doesnt really want to then yeah i would cry as well.

It is not possible for us to guess why the tears, is sad, scared, hurt. or angry because he had to stop playing the game for a few minutes.

The kid probably gets the best drugs, the prettiest babes, and a lot of cash for strolling down the runway. He needs to suck it up and quit his crying.

If I was being made to do something I did not enjoy as a child, yes. We don't know why he is crying, did he fall backstage? did he get yelled at? was he abused in some way to make him perform?

Cute kid but, poor thing.

stupid kid - get that large cane with a hook on the end to get this little pansy off the stage. He already shows signs of being gay, what a shame

You're the stupid one you silly b***h. Who knows what made him cry. Before you call anyone a pansy or gay get the facts!

I was a realllllly shy kid so I would be terrified of the large crowd. It would have been nice to see the older model be a little more comforting to the child...would have probably helped sell the clothes too. Poor kid!

I was on stage a lot as a kid, and loved it, but i still got the fear, and tears, beforte a show, cos it's so overwhelming. You have what feels like hundreds of eye's on you, i couldn't imagine it on a catwalk, when they are just on you. Poor little lad, i want to give him cuddle and ice cream.

another case of pushing your kid too far to do something they don't want to. plus he's in a sequin suit for god's sake! can you blame him?! lol i just don't see the point in kiddos modeling they always look like " wtf?! why am i here?"

reply
DarkAng... to synful90 2011/06/29 13:59:48

Not all of them! My daughter does catalogue modelling, after watching a show on toddler models with me and asking to do it. She loves dressing up in pretty clothes (and keeping them) and posing for photo's. I wouldn't have her on a catwalk though, she gets terrible stage fright at school!

reply
synful90 to DarkAng... 2011/06/29 14:03:12

well i suppose not in all cases. i don't mind if parents put their kids in because they want to be of course. catwalk is a little much and that boy just looks like he doesn't even want to be there.

Some parents just see their kids as a way to live their dreams. I really didn't want to let her do it, cos of the industry itself, but she was insistent, and i'm a push over :-D
