Keith Carlos - America’s Next Top Model

Soon after his early retirement from football, Carlos switched to modeling and was auditioned on the twenty-first cycle of America’s Next Top Model. On December 6, 2014, he was named the first male winner of America’s Next Top Model. Tyra Banks, who produces the show, has acknowledged that Carlos’ uncanny resemblance to African-American model Tyson Beckford was the definitive deciding factor in his winning Cycle 21.
