Edwards on how he got discovered: “I was at a music festival in England called the V Festival. I was with my sister and some friends,stumbling around when I was approached by a person who worked for an agency in London who asked me if I’d be interested in trying out modeling. I worked as a retoucher at the time, and started by juggling the two jobs before the modeling work interfered with my full time job. I eventually decided to go into modeling full time and moved to New York a few days later.”
