Broderick Hunter

Business Insider have rated him as one of the sexiest men on Instagram—something many of his 280,000 followers would agree with—and has been the face of world-leading brands such as Ralph Lauren. He has graced the covers of Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and GQ in America and Europe and appeared in major music videos for the likes of The Wanted, Ciara, and Mystery Skulls. As an actor, he has appeared in several comedy shows, most recently A Black Lady Sketch Show on HBO.

Hunter was born in the city of Fontana, California in 1991. After attending high school, where he got a reputation as an excellent basketball player, he won a scholarship to study at the University of Central Florida. His collegiate basketball career was curtailed by injury, however, and he returned to Fontana. Shortly afterwards, he was invited to take part in a photoshoot. His true calling recognised, he’d soon been signed up by several agencies across the world. In 2011, he appeared as the love interest in the video for ‘Warzone’ a single by British band The Wanted that was a hit in the UK and Ireland. The following year, he played a similar role in the video for Ciara’s ‘Sorry’, which became a top-ten US dance hit.

In 2017, Hunter made his TV acting debut with a guest role in Insecure, an HBO comedy-drama that was named by the American Film Institute as one of the year’s best shows. He followed this in 2018 with roles in sitcoms Rel and Marlon.
