Biography
Tyson Craig Beckford is an American supermodel and actor, known worldwide for his muscular physique, facial structure, and tattoos; and also as the lead model for Ralph Lauren. He is also reported to be one of the highest-paid and richest male supermodels in the world.

Beckford is the son of a Jamaican father and a Jamaican/Chinese-American mother. Growing up in Rochester, New York, he attended Pittsford Mendon High School in the affluent suburb of Pittsford as a participant in the Urban-Suburban Program, a busing program designed to give educational opportunities to urban youth in the city's surrounding suburban school districts. Tyson was a member of his high school football and track teams, and it has been reported that early in his life, Beckford was a gang member and was involved in the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics. In 1991, he was recruited to hip hop magazine The Source by a talent scout who had come across him by chance in a New York park. In 1993, Beckford was recruited by Ralph Lauren as the front model for the company's Polo line of male sportswear. Beckford's fame continued to rise, and he was named "Man of the Year" in 1995 by VH1, as well as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World by People magazine.

In June 2005, Beckford was injured in a car accident near his home. His vehicle caught fire, and Beckford was able to pull himself out before it became fully engulfed in flames. The accident had a profound effect on his spirituality, which he later revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Today, Beckford lives with his young son in New York City.

 

Other Information
Was considered for the role of Winston in How Stella Got Her Groove Back (1998).

He was raised in Rochester, New York and Jamaica. His exotic looks can be attributed to the fact that his father is half Jamaican and half Chinese and his mother has Panamanian ancestry.

One of the world's top male models.

His grandmother was born in Ghana

Is 1/4 Chinese on his father's side (his paternal grandmother is 100% Chinese).

About as hunky as a hatchling hering, so send Balou to a bayou: maybe he's to the cayman's taste, they eat about anything, especially if it ever moved?

I'd very much like to meet that guy; he's so gorgeous (or at least get an autograph from him). I've loved him since I saw him on the RL advert.

I went to school with his cousin who Iended up dating few years ago.They actually look very similar and have the same physique! Although I would like to think that Tyson isnt as egotistical and self-centered as his cousin!

Well that answers the question for his eyes, but in all he looks good. The modeling business was meant for him since hes so good looking and photogenic. Im glad that african americans can be seen for doing more in life then just being good in sports that no matter what the race you can do what you want and desire.
