Fernando Lindez is a Spanish model and actor. Fernando Lindez began his acting career in 2017 rather unusually when in between classes at school, he looked at his phone and saw a direct message from an agency asking him to come in and meet with them. A few months later, he made his runway debut during Madrid Fashion Week walking for Palomo Spain. His breakthrough moment came in January 2019 when he opened the Versace show. Lindez, who gave up golf and MMA to focus on modeling, has had a busy year since, opening DSquared2 and Dunhill and closing Prada’s Shanghai show and Jacquemus’ tenth-anniversary show set among the rolling lavender fields of Provence. He also walked in Virgil Abloh’s Place Dauphine takeover for Louis Vuitton in June 2019. He plans to return to school in the future for acting, and is currently playing the heartthrob Alejandro on the Spanish version of the hit Norwegian high school series Skam.
