'Spain's handsomest police officer' on jungle reality show
12/02/2020
'SPAIN'S sexiest policeman' who has been dovetailing as a model for the past 18 months is set to appear on popular jungle reality TV show, Supervivientes.
Jorge Pérez, 36, married with two kids, was just another member of the military-trained force until his photo was used by the Guardia Civil on Twitter in full combat gear with the caption: “Even if you see us in uniform on the outside, on the inside we're no different to you. We work for your freedom and safety. If you need us, call 062.”
The tweet racked up well over 12,000 'likes' in five weeks, nearly 5,000 comments and almost 2,500 retweets – very few of them relating to the public service provided by the Guardia Civil.
A bizarre about-face of the story of the USA's handsomest criminal, fugitive Jeremy Meeks – who ended up with a modelling contract thanks to his 'sexy' wanted photo and ended up marrying the Top Shop empire heiress – Jorge is the Spanish version on the right side of the law whose face drew the attention of a prestigious agency; in this case, Sight, in Barcelona.
Sight Management also represents the likes of the ex-Mr Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, and Kylie Minogue's former partner, Spanish model Andrés Velencoso.
Jorge decided not to become a full-time model and give up his police job, since he was very conscious that the former industry can be very fickle and, if he lost his looks or his face no longer fit what was considered 'trendy' in the fashion and cosmetics industry, he would also lose his sole source of income.
Whilst the risk of damaging his modelling career is higher in the military police, given that officers face criminal underworlds and possible violence, and despite the Guardia Civil job involving a punishing schedule and long hours, Jorge has managed to successfully combine catwalk and magazine jobs with his initial calling.
Now, he is set to leap even further into the limelight: he is packing his cases to head to Hondurás where he will join a handful of regular national television faces living a spartan lifestyle in a remote rainforest, carry out tasks that are not really aimed at the squeamish or nervous, in the name of entertainment.
Supervivientes ('Survivors') runs along the same lines as the cult UK programme I'm a celebrity...get me out of here, and in the 2020 season of the Spanish version, he will join presenters and other famous faces such as Rocío Flores, Alejandro Reyes, Nyno Vargas, Hugo Sierra and José Antonio Avilés.
The last year and a half has been something of a honeymoon period for Jorge – as well as becoming a model and now being picked to feature on Supervivientes, he and his wife have had a third child.
On his Instagram site, @jorgeperezdiez, the country's most attractive policeman has uploaded the combat-uniform photo that turned his career round along with the caption: “A year ago this photo changed my life...moments of surprises, uncertainty and excitement...a year full of adventure, experiences and learning, a year full of thanks to all those who have and still do put their trust in me, to the people who share my day to day, to everyone who accompanies me with each Instagram photo...thank you, with all my heart; thank you.”
He tagged the force in the post with its Instagram username @guardiacivil062.
The 6'3” (1.89m) tanned, muscular officer is passionate about sports and trains hard as part of his police job, meaning he sailed through the physical fitness tests required for taking part on the jungle reality show.
