Mr Model of Tourism World to be Paul Charles’s last pageant

Pageant veteran Paul Charles will close that chapter of his life when he represents Guyana at the international leg of the Mr Model of Tourism World in May; it will be his final pageant.

He is certain that the experience will be bittersweet. Paul, who is also a dancer, turns 35 in April, noted that it was time to step away from pageantry, but promised to use his experience to continue to mentor and train other representatives for Guyana.

“My journey in competing in pageants will come to an end this year. This will be my farewell pageant. It’s amazing,” Paul said. “I’m happy to have been given this opportunity to represent Guyana because this is what I do and this is what I love but on the other hand, I’m still nervous because it’s been so long since I last competed in a pageant. I’m very much excited and prepared to the best of my ability to make it happen. This is not just for me but to show that men have what it takes to be on the international stage and do pageants too.”
