From fashion and commercial work to catwalks and photoshoots, we represent some of the best classic male modelling talent in the UK. We’re one of the largest modelling agencies in London and were one of the first agencies to introduce a diverse range of models in the UK. As such we depict older male models of all nationalities and ethnicities with age never being a barrier. We believe in the ethos of the right client for the right model and work difficult to match models with clients based on their strengths and suitability.

Our over 50 male models regularly feature in TV commercials and editorial features as adv as in catalogues and fashion imagery. We have a broad range of older male models on our books with an extremely diverse selection. Our booking and model agents get to know the strengths and weaknesses of each of our classic male models so we’re always able to recommend the right person for the job.

For many, June represents the month of pride; a time to celebrate, educate and communicate all that is queer, gay and fabulous. Although today being gay isn’t much of a deal, back in the 50’s it was a dangerous label to have. Throughout history, thousands possess lost their lives because they were labeled as ‘gay’ or ‘queer’ and many lived out their true sexual preferences in secrecy. As it’s almost the end of Pride month, I wanted to have a glance at some celebrities from the golden age of Hollywood who were gay, or at least thats what the rumours said. It’s difficult to know if all these celebrities, and of course many more, were truly gay, but I wanted to share a few stories just so see how far we’ve come. Happy pride everyone.

I’m 43 – but I’m made to feel like a dinosaur by younger gay men

‘In gay years, you’re rather past your sell-by date, aren’t you?’ the person in front of me said, raising an eyebrow. 

The ‘witticism’ was far from original – it’s actually a bit of a running joke in the LGBTQ+ community. And if a friend had said it, I probably would have laughed briefly and moved on, not thinking anything of it. 

But as it came from a relative stranger, the controversial quip felt more derisory than jovial.

Maybe it hit home that bit harder because it came just a few weeks after another younger person condescendingly commented on my age — something I rarely voluntarily disclose for precisely this reason, but in this instance, they had asked and I told them. 

The person said, with a sardonic tone, it must be nice to be older and wiser. 

I replied by saying, yes I see it as a blessing to be older and wiser because many gay men who came before me had their lives cut concise in their prime because of AIDS.   

But quite frankly, I was affronted. Because, at 43, I’m

“Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64….”

As we approach the end of LGBTQ+ Pride month, I would like to track up on the excellent Blog by Rares earlier in the month with a few thoughts about growing older as a gay man. My partner and I recently celebrated our joint 64th birthdays with some friends. We blew the candles out on our cake accompanied by the Beatles’ “When I’m 64” – written by Paul McCartney when he was a juvenile man about the joys and pleasures of growing older. It’s hard to imagine he might have seen himself headlining Glastonbury at 80 and rocking out with the best of them! I find that annual events and celebrations like Pride look to come around faster and faster these days. Pride month almost passed me by; until I read the Blog by Rares, reminding us of how far we’ve come in terms of equality and how far we have yet to travel.

I’ve written before about my experiences as a gay man, particularly as a young man growing up in Ireland in the 60s and 70s. I now have the experience of growing older – s
