Matthew Noszka woke up on a July day in 2014 as a college basketball player with dreams of going pro . . . then he built a deck. Noszka posted a picture of himself with the deck and his dad on Instagram, and was discovered by a top New York modelling manager [1] faster than you can say "he's so chiseled it hurts." Days later he signed as a model for Nike, relocated to New York and transformed into talent worthy of representing some of the most iconic fashion brands. If you watched Fox's short-lived series Star, you probably already know his face (or perhaps just his abs), but now that he's getting into the Netflix game with Let It Snow [2], it's time to get more familiar. Check out Matthew's revolution from college basketball player to crowd-pleasing model and actor with some of his best Instagram posts!
