Gabriel Aubry Biography Canadian supermodel and real life leading man to one of Hollywood’s brightest starlets, Gabriel Aubry leads that particular kind of life that truly makes women desire him and men desire to be him Gabriel Aubry was born January 4, 1976 in Montreal, Canada. Never moving from the area, Aubry was raised in Montreal as well. Rather than seeking out fame, stardom, or publicity like many of his fellow models, Aubry is, by his own admission, an extremely shy person. Therefore, rather than auditioning for shoots or talking up potential photographer contacts, Aubry’s success began in a night club where he was officially “discovered” by virtue of his natural good looks and appeal. Picked out of the crowd by a stylist, Aubry’s career took off after minimal local exposure. When word spread of the fresh-faced new talent, Aubry was picked up by fashion moguls around the globe. His initial career was punctuated by work for the likes of Calvin Klein, Exte, and Donatella Versace, sister of the murdered fashion designer, Gianni Versace. It wasn’t until early 2000, however, when Aubry earned the coveted fashion elite status of “supermodel.” The work that propelled Aubry into the big leagues was his campaign with classy, conservative male designer Hugo Boss. Aubry’s professional look is characterized by slightly androgynous features, which was a style he helped usher into the male modeling mainstream. It’s common, therefore, for his work to exude masculinity but in a very elegant and glamorous manner.
Drawn to this cutting edge look, Tommy Hilfiger is another designer that has called upon Aubry’s services on multiple occasions. Aubry currently lives in one of the most influential and important fashion capitals of the world, New York City. But even with his chiseled jaw line, piercing eyes, international modeling acclaim, and shy-guy personality, Aubry would arguably never have reached the level of media frenzy and success he knows today. What helped push him into the limelight? Perhaps it has something to do with his ongoing relationship with Oscar winning member of the acting A list, Halle Berry. Aided by the paparazzi frenzy induced by such an aesthetically pleasing pair, Aubry and Berry have both received an added dose of media attention courtesy of their relationship. Critics, however, may want to think twice before claiming Aubry is in it for the fame. Aubry and Berry have been rock steady for several years, and the couple has just publicly announced they are the proud soon-to-be parents of a baby. Berry is due to give birth Valentine’s day 2008.
