Eric Akoa says Cristiano Ronaldo is his biggest inspiration when it comes to him being a better model.

The Cameroonian top model, who shocked the country back in September after releasing his nude photoshoot, tells us that the Real Madrid and Portuguese center forward has one of the best physical appearances any male model should aspire to have.

 “When I started going to the gym two years ago, I really wanted to look like C. Ronaldo, which I did. But after having what I wanted, I told myself, ‘hey, I want even more’, So now, I want to look like …erm… Arnold Schwazenegger.” Akoa tells DCODED TV.

“Cristiano Ronaldo no doubt is a great Portuguese football player who is also a great model. He inspires me a lot to be a better model because he has a body to die for. His physique is second to none and he works so hard to maintain that appearance and that’s the kind of work ethics I also want to have,” he added.

Akoa however mentioned Cameroonian football superstar Samuel Eto’o Fils as one of his inspirations but says he doesn’t care about his physique but something even more.

“Samuel Eto’o inspires me as well but not in the aspect of modeling. He has a great personality and a great heart which is something everyone should aspire to have,” the hunk reveals to us.

Akoa then adds,

“Pierre Abena is also a great Cameroonian model who inspires me. Presently he’s at the top of his career and I look up to him a lot. But it’s also important that I work hard to build my brand and get to his level of success and why not more.”
