EYES ON PRIZE FOR MANHUNT’S BIG NIGHT

- EMILY HALLORAN

THESE men spend up to four hours every day at the gym, playing sports, dancing and “going to the parlour” just to look like this good.

Twenty of the world’s finest male models are on the Gold Coast for the Manhunt World Final competitio­n.

For Nepal’s Dhruva Budhahoki, 24, it’s all about looking good for Instagram and Facebook.

Zanabazar Dageamamda­l, from Mongolia, just wants to celebrate his youthful looks.

“I work as a lawyer in Shanghai,” the 27-year-old says.

“It’s a very stressful job so during my lunch breaks I go to the gym.”

Manhunt was first held on the Gold Coast in 1993 and has returned after being held all over the world.

The men are staying at the Q1 on the Coast before they compete for the title on Sunday at the QT Gold Coast hotel.

There are three sections of the competitio­n: national costumes, evening wear and swimwear.

Manhunt Internatio­nal president Rusko Dickinson, Sally Gyte from 9 News and events managers will be judging the men.

Last year’s winner Truong Ngoc Tinh will be crowned at this year’s competitio­n, which has launched a number of successful modelling careers for contestant­s.

More than 200 internatio­nal and local guests are expected to attend.
