LUCCIANA’S ROLE MODEL

Smokin’ hot model Lucciana Beynon says her playboy dad has fully embraced her glittery career bid and added his tips into the mix

-

LUCCIANA Beynon has revealed her infamous father known as the Candyman has been giving her modelling tips as she gears up to take on the US.

Travers Beynon, the self-styled Gold Coast playboy and tobacconis­t empire boss, boasted a successful modelling career of his own with Elite Model Management and has been offering some helpful advice ahead of Lucciana’s planned move in coming months.

“It’s really funny, he’ll show me how to walk and he’ll be fully in character and everything, it’s amazing,” she tells ATG.

“He always tells me: ‘You’ve got to practise every night, practise your walk, look in the mirror, look at your faces’ – he gets really into it.”

Lucciana says she respects her Dad as a model and he is supporting her dream to pursue a career with Victoria’s Secret.

But despite the family’s decent connection­s in the game already, the 17-year-old says she doesn’t want to rely on her name.

“I feel like I have to get there on my own,” she says.

“I’ve wanted to model my whole life,” she says after a shoot this week modelling for former NRL star Michael Crocker’s Body Science activewear.

“I know Dad will miss me when I’m gone because I’m the baby of the family but he knows why it’s important for me.”

The father-daughter pair often share photos of themselves together on Instagram, with Beynon Senior recently sharing a strikingly similar side-by-side photo of their faces.

It was captioned: “No DNA test needed”.

Travers Beynon is known for throwing wild parties at the mansion he shares with wife Taesha and his model girlfriend­s.

He’ll show me how to walk. He really gets into it
