Kelly Roux. Who, why, what, how?
Well… When a Mommy and a Daddy love each other very much… jokes! I’m a very fun-loving, outgoing and constantly active lady, who still manages to pull on doors that say ‘Push’.

What was your expectation coming into your shoot with us for this feature, and did we meet it?
To be honest, I had a feeling it was going to be fun, but I had no idea it was going to be that much fun. You guys rocked! I had a really awesome time from start to finish.

You are awesome in front of the camera. Where does the confidence come from and what goes through your mind when you’re posing?
Thank you. Confidence comes from within and feeling good in your own skin; when I’m in front of the camera, I can be exactly who I am, and I love it. What goes through my mind when I’m posing? I’m pretty sure you can tell from my facial expression!

Which scene did you feel the sexiest in?
Being sexy is all about confidence, not what you wear, in my opinion. Buuuut if I had to choose, it would be when I got all oiled up in the leather bikini… That was pretty sexy.

How did you get into the modelling scene and what attracts you to it?
I’ve been modelling since school, but that was mostly ramp (which didn’t work out because I’m so short!). I love being in front of the camera, and just being able to be me. It’s also super cool to work with such great artists and constantly meeting new people.

You’re a very active person. What sports do you like to partake in and how much of a role do they play in keeping your body in such good shape?
Goodness, I love keeping busy and active! I play hockey, I run, and I gym at least once or twice a day, but I’ll take any opportunity to play a sport, no matter what it might be. I must admit that being so active really does help keep my body in shape, but I also have to be good eating-wise. As they say, abs are made in the kitchen.

What extreme spots have you tried or would you like to try?
I’ve tried snow skiing and snowboarding, car racing and skydiving, all of them are insane! I really want to dive with sharks (because I’m super terrified of them, so what better way to get over it than that?!), white water rafting (does that even need an explanation as to why I want to do it?) and water skiing.

Do you have any hidden fears?
I’m ridiculously scared of spiders (aaaah!) and sharks. And I used to be afraid of heights but not anymore since I skydived, hell yes!

What does your wildest dream consist of?
Probably modelling for a really big world-famous magazine or brand. Or being a top-class surgeon one day.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
To be honest, either studying medicine (the graft is real), or being a Biokineticist and working with little children. I still need to decide on which one of the two!

What’s your guilty pleasure?
Anything drizzled in chocolate.

What is one of the most adventurous things you have ever done?
Probably jumping out of a perfectly good plane, all by myself! It was insane and I loved every second of it.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we mention:

Guys? Bi’s, traps and chest, bru.

Girls? Long hair and pretty nails.

Fantasy? Skiing in the Alps with my Love.

First kiss? Awkward.

Naughty? Skinny-dipping.

Nice? Hmm… I keep thinking of the phrase “Nice guys finish last”… (But I beg to differ).

Also, a massive shout-out to LW Mag, the readers and fans, you guys are awesome! I’m honoured to be featured next to some of SA’s sexiest and craziest athletes, models and stars, you guys are truly inspirational. Find me on Instagram – @kellroux.
