Jordan Goncalves was born in 1994, of mixed Brazilian and Italian blood. He has a cinematic face, a blend of Latin American features and European elegance.

Instead of developing his career in Western countries, Jordan chose Vietnam as his destination after a trip in 2015. The warm and friendly people of this land made him feel close to home.

After nearly 10 years of living and working in Vietnam, the male supermodel is happy to be integrated like a local. He learned many new things, learned more about culture, history and modern social life. The supermodel named himself "Dan" for convenience in his work.

In addition to his native Brazilian language, Jordan is fluent in Spanish and English. The supermodel also spent a lot of time learning Vietnamese with a teacher from Hue. However, the difficult Hue accent made it difficult for him to understand.

He is currently working hard to learn spelling, pronunciation, and grammar every day with the hope of improving his communication skills. Jordan aims to be able to speak Vietnamese fluently in the next few years.

For Jordan Goncalves, the loneliest and most difficult time was when he first arrived in Vietnam. He had to get used to the environment, people, and climate here.

“Sometimes I feel overloaded, both working in art and maintaining business, so the workload is quite a lot. However, everything is still on track. I think a man needs to have a cool head to accept loneliness, and at the same time find his own way when things are not going well,” he told VietNamNet .

Jordan is active in showbiz with many roles. He has acted in MVs of singers Dong Nhi, Thu Minh, Nhat Kim Anh, Ho Ngoc Ha, participated in fashion events, advertisements...

According to Jordan, showbiz work, especially the fashion industry, has to face a lot of pressure, so he used to get stressed.

“But later I got into the habit of not paying too much attention to negative things. After leaving work, I allowed myself to ‘get out of character’ and freely enjoy the life of a 30-year-old man,” he said.

Living away from home for many years, Jordan still maintains his affection for his parents. Every week, he calls home 3-4 times, taking advantage of holidays or long vacations to visit his family. The male supermodel is happy because his choice is wholeheartedly supported by his parents.

They silently follow and compliment him when they see him appear in showbiz activities. Recently, the whole family was proud to know that Jordan was a judge in the Mr World 2024 competition.
