Is Rian SA's Next Top Model?
Professional model, actor and presenter "Maps” Maponyane joins The Complimentary Breakfast is studio and unknowingly goes up against Rian in "Battle of the Male Models."
Masego "Maps" Maponyane has got it all: Looks, charm and a string of successful achievements behind his name.
Since the age of 10, he has has had a love affair with the camera and made the decision back then to not follow in the steps of his father, soccer legend Marks Maponyane, but to rather pursue his dream of making it big in the media arena instead. After bouncing between agencies who were not prepared to invest in his unique look, he rose to fame when he was named Cosmopolitan magazine's Sexiest South African Man back in 2013, and his career has gone from strength to strength ever since.
Today Maps is everything from model to MC, to television presenter, commentator, voice over artist, business entrepreneur and now he can add budding movie star to the list after landing the lead role in the latest proudly SA movie “Tell Me Sweet Something.”
The team decides to put his devilish good look up against their own made up model to see if with the aid of a good photographer and copious amounts of Photoshop if anyone can be look good on a photograph. Rian strikes a pose and the two head shots are taken out to the public with one simple question to answer: Who is the better male model?
Maps had a good laugh after Rian revealed that more than a few "minor fixes" were done to his picture to make it look as flawless as as it did...
This is the before and after of photo of Rian van Heerden after copious amounts of Photoshop. Goes to show that anyone...
