He sought advice from his supermodel mother, who admitted she was surprised that he wanted to follow this path. "They ask me about [modeling]. Especially my son Henry,Heidi told Access Hollywood. "He was like, 'Oh, what should I do?'"

"In any case, it's funny that he asked me, you know? He was like, 'You know, Mom, I really want to get into modeling, what do you think about it?'" she continued.

The mother of four reassured her son that he would be up to the task. "I'm like, 'You're like, so handsome, of course you should do this.' So he strutted around a little bit at home,she recalled. He landed on the cover of Hunger magazine in March, proving that his mom's advice had paid off.
