Joining me in the studio today is the most handsome guy in the Gulf. Ah, somebody turn up the air, come for the ease. Welcome, Omar Bokhan. Thank you, thank you. Ah, how does it feel to wear that crown? Ah, it's good. I love it, but sometimes it's tiring because people expect you to be looking good all the time and then sometimes you just want to be free and go wherever you want to go. I'm sure it's exhausting to look good all the time. But you were born with the jeans, so you're half your more than half way there. Thank you. Now it's no surprise then you're a model, but you actually started out as a fashion photographer. So what was the cause for this switch? Well, I used to take a lot of photos of my friends and some clients for fashion photography and stuff and then people started advising me that you look good, you should be in front of the camera and you know, not behind it. And then I started taking pictures of myself, my brother or whoever. And then the pictures started looking good and people liked it and I was like, okay, this is working. Let's just keep going on it. So do you still dabble in photography or mostly muggling now? It's like a hobby. Since I was 11 years old, I love photography. I always had a camera in my room and stuff. So I still take pictures of my family, friends, but not as a real job. You know? Yeah, nice to swap, you know, as you say, you can be in front of the lens and you can also jump behind it. Exactly. You've worked with huge brands, Gucci, Hugo Boss, even Evian Water. Now I've got to ask, did they jump at the opportunity for a wet t-shirt in the campaign? They did. Really? Yeah. And they've got you, this mega top model. Thank you. I'll have to look those shots up later. Yeah. Now you're also the first Arabic brand ambassador for Samsung in South America. So how do you enjoy the travel that's involved with your work? Oh, it was amazing. For me to visit all these countries and I learned a lot from their culture. The Spanish culture is amazing. South America and total. It's one of my favorite places at Mexico, Cancun, and it's amazing. We also said that Mexico City really reminds you of your home city of Baghdad. Right, right. It's a very big city, always busy, a lot of people. And just the vibe and how it's full, it reminded me of Baghdad for sure. Oh, nice memories. I'm back talking with Omar. Well, can he's a boss online and he has amassed over three and a half million followers. Now part of this is due to the exposure you've gained from your acting career. What's in the pipeline? What project are you working on? Now I'm working on a very, very exciting project. It's a YouTube series. It's going to be released in May, maybe, mid of May. That's soon, that next month. It's called Expensive Taste. Oh. Basically the idea that we go and try the most expensive things in Dubai. So it's very fun. I love it. And I get to try all the expensive things for free. So yeah. Yeah, no complaint. Yeah, sure. Need a wing woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do have one, but yeah. I know. Maybe, maybe. Maybe, you know, like the next one, the part two. Okay, okay. Yeah. And I'm going to ask in almost all of your footage, Omar, you are wearing a Gucci. So why has this become your signature style? I started wearing this first when I really started getting famous. So people started noticing me and they know me for the style. So it looks good on me. So I love it. Did it. But do you ever think you're going to switch it up, change your look? It's stuck now. You want... Well, look, like once you switch it up, you just become like everyone else. And you know, like for me, it's something that's, you know, like unique about me. And I wear it. A lot of people wear it too. But like for me, I present it for globally. Yeah. For a lot of people. So... I like it. Now you're even the star of your own personalized emoji app. Right. That is so cool. How was that to build? Well, a company approached me that they wanted to build an emoji app for me. And I was like, okay, cool. Look at it. And it came back with a very nice emojis. And I was like, okay, I love it. I'm going to, you know, like sign on it. And then we released it. It's on iTunes. Apps Store. Did you tweak it at all? Where you kind of like, no, no, no, no. My nose is this way. Not really. I, my only, you know, like the reason that I wanted to do it, it has like the Arabic kind of emojis. No one done it before. No one had like, you know, like the Arabic emojis and like Dubai and and luxury cars and all that. So I wanted to do this. It's unique. I love it. But it's also got your horse in it. Yeah. Yeah. Was that cool? I love it. Yeah. Yeah. My pictures, they turned it to emojis. So yeah, everything that directly from real photos. Exactly. Yeah. That's so nice. And do your brothers. So you're the eldest of three. Right. Do they also use this app and kind of they're like, oh, yeah, that's me. No, it's not your brother. No, it's me. One of my brothers looks so much like me. You know, people think that we're doing sometimes. So he can, you know, like, pass on. He can't pass on it and say, like, it's me, but yeah, people knows. Yeah. Yeah. That's so cool. I love it. Thank you so much. Oh, my book plan for coming on the show. Thank you for having me. You can catch our full beats and bloggers interview at dancefm.com. This is Praise Cats on the Vibes.
