One person in the comments said:
"Do some modelling or something, use your height to your advantage, mntase."
While speaking on his modelling career, @ofentse.dior told Briefly News that he has always considered pursuing modelling.
"I have considered modelling ever since I was young, and I believe my height is advantageous for paving the way in the modelling industry. But for the longest time, it felt like it was really elusive to attain my goals since I've been applying to modelling agencies with no luck," he said.
He also says that although he is blessed to be as tall as he is, it can also be a curse simultaneously. The young man shared some of the challenges he faces with his height, saying:
"But being tall makes you stand out even at times when you're having a bad day, and you feel like camouflaging. Finding the perfect pants to fit me is also one of the obstacles I encounter."
@ofentse.dior expressed that other than modelling, he believes his height could help him gravitate towards acquiring roles in international movies.
"TikTok paved the way for me to be recognised, and there are people motivating me to not give up on chasing my dreams of becoming a model. It’s really hard to retain fame since people easily get bored, I hope in future to have a large pool of followers to take them on my journey of becoming an influential person and a successful international model," he ended off.
