Orlando Samseer
Orlando was born Amsterdam out of mixed race (Scandinavian, Indian, Surinamese). Having had a bit of a rough childhood he met up with Nelletje,. They’ve been together for 23 years and have three children together; Teddie and Jill ( 8 year old identical twin girls who also model now and then) and 20 year old son Mickey (through whom Orlando accidentally got into this line of work in the first place).
His back problems started in early puberty. Even though he has always been a fanatic sportsmen (and still is) he had to undergo several back operations over a period of 18 years. One of his last hernias has left him losing some functionality in the left leg. He still loves to stay in shape at the gym as this helps him out a lot. He says he can’t go without because that would leave him crippled. Orlando occasionally works as a personal trainer. He emphasizes the importance of staying in shape, especially when you’re getting older or being handicapped.
Good and healthy food plays a big role in his life. “I came into contact with macrobiotic food in my puberty and have not been able to ignore what I learned since”. “Good food rocks!”
He loves music, he’s been a drummer in several bands for years and even performed in the famous Paradiso venue in Amsterdam.
He’s lived and worked in Amsterdam all his live. Having been a bouncer at nightclubs in Amsterdam for decades, Orlando now -next to modeling and acting- works as a host at a night club in Amsterdam. When not working he’s either entertaining the twins, hanging out with Nelletje or doing some sports. Next to fitness, he loves basketball and boxing but also drawing and even clay modeling.
