Usman Janjua (24) from Birmingham is model and CEO of a property company here
in the UK but was actually born in Lahore Pakistan before moving to England.
Usman competed with Manuel in the Mr England final in August this year but had previously won the Mr Pakistan title in Lahore back in May .
Usman is a British model and had won a national title so couldn’t resist applying again for Mr World !
Now Usman is the very first to represent Pakistan in Mr World!
Usman said ‘Going to Mr World has always been my childhood dream . In-fact one of
my main goals and motivation which got me into the modelling industry as a child
was to work hard and to be able to represent my country at Mr World.
I was fortunate enough to participate in Mr. England 2024 and can proudly say I was
one of the finalists, which has been the best experience of my life and has taught me so much! As a Mr England participant I went on ITV morning show and was published in national newspapers such as the Daily mail and more . I was only 1 month of age when I moved to UK. Born to British citizens parents was born there as mother had a family emergency so she travelled to Pakistan and I ended up being born there . Been raised in UK all my life but embrace my Pakistan roots
Both Manuel & Usman list their hobbies as playing football with Usman
already playing for West Bromwich Albion Academy until the age of 17.
Mr England director Angie Beasley said ” The Mr World contest isn’t just about good looks its one of the toughest competitions Ive seen with physically fit great looking men from across the world competing in a series of rounds for the title!
With Manuel’s Army training & Usmans football experience it should be very
interesting to see how these two boys do in the Sports round!
There is also a Multi Media Challenge , a head to head gruelling interview , a talent
round & a Top Model catwalk and numerous photoshoots that the finalists will participate in before the winner is selected .”
Contestants from 76 countries will be taking part in the 3 week Mr World Festival 5th
