Whelp, Presley famous “that was a night to remember” within the Gerber-Crawford family “for sure!” The brother of Kaia Gerber recalled that the 57-year-old supermodel and his dad Rande Gerber suspected he was hiding one thing when he got here dwelling after hanging out with a pal in a big hoodie — despite the fact that it was heat outdoors:
“It was in Canada, it was like 100 degrees outside and I come home and told my mom and dad: ‘Hey me and my buddy are going to go and buy some gifts from the giftshop’ for our girlfriends at the time. Rain storm happens, and our trip turns into an eight, nine hour trip home. I don’t get back until nighttime, it stays warm out there.”
He continued:
“It’s probably 90 degrees and I’m in board shorts and a huge hoodie. I eat dinner with them [my parents] – everything is a little off, but I eat dinner with them, I’m talking, we go and watch a movie together. Middle of the movie, [they press] pause, [and say] ‘Hey Pres, take off your hoodie.’ And I’m like, ‘You guys knew this whole time didn’t you!’”
Lolz! So how did Cindy react? Well, she wasn’t too upset concerning the ink. However, what she mentioned nonetheless had him virtually shaking on the time:
“That moment, my mom looked at me and she actually didn’t get mad. She just said, ‘Show your dad,’ and that was the scariest thing that I’ve ever heard come out of her mouth. I literally teleported through the walls [to my room]. But it was worth it to me. Something really tragic happened and something. Now of course I’ve had some [tattoos] done that I could do without but that’s how it started out with some reminders I would want on me.”
One of these tattoos he regrets getting is the phrase “misunderstood” on his face. And regardless of his love for ink, Presley says he stopped getting them at round 20 to 21 years previous since he started so younger:
“I got a face tattoo, then I got it removed. That was really the last big, visible tattoo that I got. I ran out of space real quick.”
Wonder what Cindy needed to say about that tatt earlier than he eliminated it! Elsewhere within the interview, Presley additionally touched on his struggles with psychological well being, saying:
“Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do. I’ve had a lot of deep dives, a lot of vacations and a lot of time to look into myself and learn about myself with therapists.”
In the longer term, he shared that he needs to create psychological well being initiatives – presumably making clothes manufacturers concerning the topic to assist elevate consciousness. Presley added:
“It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it. That is really what I want to do – help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body.”
