Cristiano after becoming a model

Luck smiled on him.. A coincidence made a pizza maker from New York a famous model

Cristiano Weinman is a distinguished pizza maker at a New York City restaurant. While working as a regular pizza maker, he was noticed one day by a famous fashion designer's assistant. Now, he walks the runways at major fashion events and poses for magazines.

Cristiano Weinman, 24, became an overnight star in the fashion world after he owned the runway for New York designer Willy Chavarria at this year's Paris Fashion Week. He was a pizza maker at Scars, a restaurant on New York's Lower East Side, when one of Chavarria's assistants noticed him a few weeks before the event and asked him to model for the designer's clothing collection, according to the website.

Wenman's journey has been incredible. His Instagram account has been a huge success thanks to his new career, but he won't let fame get to him. He still works at the restaurant and says he doesn't plan to quit his day job anytime soon, as it helps him stay grounded.

He told the New York Post, Customers will say, Were you the guy who went to Paris? But I'm still making pizza. Modeling doesn't change who I am. I'm the same person I was before all of this. It's very important for me to stay true to who I am. I don't want to forget where I came from. Cristiano's story is reminiscent of that of the street cleaner who became a model in the Philippines.
