An Interview with Mr. International 2006: Wissam Hanna

2006-10-16T03:12:00.000-07:00

New Urban Male Interviews Mister International 2006, Wissam Hanna

Having recently concluded the inaugural Mister International 2006 held here in Singapore, NewUrbanMale.com had the opportunity to meet up with the winner, Mister Lebanon – Wissam Hanna. The 25-year-old has stints in modeling, acting and presenting as he talks to NewUrbanMale.com about his country, his ambitions and what it means to be Mister International 2006.

First of all, NewUrbanMale.com wants to congratulate you for winning Mister International 2006. What do you think the judges saw in you that allowed you to win the title?

I feel that Mister International is different from all the other pageants and that is why I decided to take part in this competition. Mister International is not just about good looks, it’s about the whole package - it's about presentation, charisma and intelligence as well. There were five finalists and I didn’t think I was the best looking out of the five, but I stood out because of my answer during the question and answer segment.

I also know that being Mister International is a very big responsibility – it is not just about looking good but it’s also about hard work. Mister International has to have the motivation, the ambition and the right attitude to succeed. It’s not just about getting the title and then returning back to your home country. Mister International has to follow up the goals and principles set by the organization and I believe that I have these qualities and that is also the other reason why the judges chose me.

Charity work is part of Mister International's duty and you mentioned that you did a lot of work on your own with several charitable organizations back home in Lebanon. Why are you so involved, and what are some of the organizations that you have helped out with?

This need to help is driven by two role models – Gandhi and Mother Theresa. Gandhi loved peace and wanted the best for everyone and what changes he wanted to make, it was only to be done through non-violent means, something I truly admire. The other person is Mother Theresa and what truly captivated me about her is what she said. She says that God is neither in the flowers, the trees nor in all the pretty things. God is in the poor and the needy. God is in the sick. It doesn’t matter if you are Christian, Muslim or Hindu, she stood by the sick and helped them to a peaceful passage to another life, and that really touched me and drove me to help my people.

Furthermore, I grew up in South Lebanon and I have seen nothing but war. I didn’t have much fun as a child and didn’t have a childhood like most people did. I feel that children should never be deprived of a childhood. These two reasons; my passion to help and my belief that children deserve a proper childhood, are reasons why I am so actively involved with charitable organizations.

Most of the organizations I have been involved in are mainly dealing with children. You must understand that we have Palestinian and Bedouin children in Lebanon and this organization is very much involved in helping them carry on as normally as possible. This organization I work for organizes summer camps where these children get the opportunity to learn about hygiene, how to present themselves; things they don’t really teach you in school.

I am also involved with World Vision. This international organization allows foreigners to sponsor a child in Lebanon. For example, somebody in Australia can sponsor a Lebanese child in Lebanon for up to year and sponsor them food or lodging.

You are a model, an actor, a volunteer and you also have a Master’s Degree in Law. But why did you choose this current path rather than pursue a career as a lawyer?

Being a model and actor has always been my ambition since I was young. But my father told me, “Son, being a model will not be able to feed you. Once you have completed your studies, then you can consider acting or modelling.” Therefore I took his advice and chose to study law and human rights because it was an interest of mine. I hope to do my doctorate in law in the future but I won't be a lawyer, perhaps when I am 40, teach in the university instead because I have always loved teaching.

How did you get involved in modeling and acting then?

I would say that this venture in modeling and acting has been by chance. I was spotted by a big director in Lebanon and she told me to come down for casting. The casting involved big personalities and many of them felt that I was photogenic and suited the role. In addition, during photo shoots I was told that I was very easy and great to work with and they said they would love for me to come back and do more shoots. Before I knew it, my face was on billboards and I was involved in different advertising campaigns in Lebanon.

You mentioned your ambition to be an international actor, is there any actor/actress that you would like to work with should that ambition come true?

I would definitely love to work with Omar Sharif (an Egyptian actor that received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for the film Lawrence of Arabia). I would also love to work with Sharon Stone. She is an excellent actress and it shows in her eyes.

You also won first prize during the National Costume segment of Mister International and I understand you worked with a famous designer for your national costume. Can you tell us more about the costume?

Yes. The costume was designed by Lena Malouff, a renowned designer in Lebanon, who also designed Claudia Schiffer’s dress that she wore for Michael Douglas’ wedding. I chose the costume because I wanted to depict this image of an Arabic hero. I don’t represent Lebanon alone; I also represent the Arab Nation and that is why I chose this idea and concept. Arabian heroes wear the robe, complete with shiny rings and sparkling gems.

Speaking of clothes and fashion, you had the opportunity to see our NewUrbanMale.com collection, are there any personal favorites?

I have been shopping all around the world – Milan, Paris, Italy, London and Turkey but I have seen nothing like NewUrbanMale.com. I was in awe when I stepped into the store – mesmerized by the colors and the quality of the things in the store. I love the quality of the products you have in the store and you carry products that are very new in fashion. I love the store and the Johnny bag is my personal favorite.

One last question which everyone wants to know, are you single?

Yes. But I do have someone in my heart. It is difficult for me because when you have a partner, you have to give them your time but at this stage of my life, I have a lot of things to concentrate on, like work and my future and I am unable to commit to any relationship at the moment.
