So ever since the official delegates from Mr. World 2019 arrived in Manila three weeks ago
I have been following their journey and social media as well as on YouTube videos uploaded by pageant journalists
But before I start revealing my top twelve list
I'd like to thank the new subscribers to this channel
And if you're new to this channel

Mr. World began in 1996 as the male counterpart of Miss World produced by the Miss World
Organization based in London, even though the first edition took place 23 years ago
The contest has only taken place nine times
Out of the nine title holders four came from Latin America, four from Europe and one from Asia
This year's pageant takes place for the first time in Manila, Philippines
And the new Mister World will be announced on August 23rd
This year's contestants proved to be quite diverse. The youngest is Mr.
Bosnia and Herzegovina at 17 years old and the oldest is Mr. Lebanon at 32. The tallest is Mr.
Russia of 6 feet 6 inches tall and the shortest is mr. Tonga at 5 feet 9 inches tall.
Just like Miss World, Mr.
World contestants engage in five challenge events such as Sport which is a test of skill,
discipline and athleticism;
Extreme, which is a test of a strength endurance and rugged determination;
Talent and Creativity which is about a contestant's finesse technique and their dedication;
Fashion, which is about taste in fashion and personal style; and
Multimedia, which looks at how contestants present themselves and how to engage and interact with an online audience.
My top 12 is in random order. I believe any of these guys can be an excellent Mr. World
assuming that Julia Morley has the same taste in men as I do.
Let's start now!
At number 12 South Africa Fezile Mkhize.
Fezile won the Top Sportsman challenge which automatically secures him a place in the top 12.
But even if he didn't win the challenge, he still deserves a top 12 spot because of his impeccable resumé.
He is a medical doctor who wants to bring principles of wellness to as many people across third-world countries as possible.
Nothing beats having a title holder who actually can cure sick people.
At number 11 Thailand Anakin Nontiprasit. This 20 year-old was born in Thailand
but spent six years of his childhood in Canada, which explains his fluency in English at
6'2" his hobbies include Lego building, ice hockey, American football, and Thai boxing.
This year is only the fourth time that Thailand is competed in Mr.
World placing in top ten back in 1996. With his charm, good boy looks, and eloquence,
there's no doubt that Anakin will land at the top ten or even in top five.
At number ten Nepal
Akshay Rayamajhi. When I first saw Akshay's contestant introduction video
I was impressed by the outstanding quality of the video because it illustrates the perfect balance between
self-promotion and promoting the country that is being represented. From the video
you can get a vivid sense of Akshay's personality and background as well as of his heartfelt mission as M. World Nepal.
I think Akshay has all equalities needed to be the next Mr. World,
At number 9 Philippines Jody Saliba
Philippines will make the top 12 not because it's the host country but because its
representative has proven himself to be worthy of the Mr.
World title. After all his motto is "If there's a will there's a way."
This 26 year-old actor and model has a bachelor's degree in sports science
and he hopes someday to become a pilot. Since the Philippines began competing in Mr. World
it has only placed once in 2012 when Andrew Wolff was placed first runner-up. The possibility of Jody winning Mr
World is a long shot since no contestant has ever won in his own country, but there's always a first!
Number eight England Jack Heslewood.
This 27 year-old aerospace engineer was actually first runner-up in Mr.
England 2016 which was won by Jack Eyers who was forced to relinquish the title
three years later due to personal reasons.
Heslewood has competed in Manhunt International 2018 where he made the top 15. This English gentleman's hobbies include running,
skiing,
technology and playing drums. At number 7 Spain
Daniel Torres. At six feet three inches tall this 29 year-old Spaniard is hard to miss
Daniel works in security with ambitions to become a TV host and actor. He loves animals and his pets
include a duck a chicken and a dog. His hobbies include playing sports and spending time with his family
And he has one of the best bodies in the competition. Spain won Mr
World back in 2007 with Juan Francisco Postigo. Daniel competed in Mr. International
2016 where he made the top nine. No country has ever won. Mr
World twice, but Daniel could make Spain as the first country to win its second. Mr
World and look at that perfectly sculpted body!
At number six Kenya Robert Kula Budi. If I had to pick the most fashionable and stylish
contestant it would have to be Mr. Kenya
He is always well-dressed and has a very good taste in clothing
This 28 year-old is pursuing a degree in Sports Science and
Works as a TV host and actor his dream job is to be the governor of Nairobi, but why stop there?
Why not also want for the presidency? Wouldn't it be nice to have a former Mr
World who is also the president of an important African country?
At number five Brazil, Carlos, Franco
Carlos was crowned Mr. Brazil
2016 which means he had three years to prepare for this year's competition
This 27 year-old Brazilian is a businessman an actor and a model
He teaches karate classes to young people and children and his platform is fighting against leprosy.
He wishes to serve as an inspiration to other people. Brazil has placed five times in the nine-year history of the contest.
winning in 2003 with Gustavo Giannetti. If he plays his cards
right and if luck is on the side Carlos could very well be the second Brazilian to in Mr. World.
At number four Czech Republic Jakub Kraus. At 29
Jakub is one of the oldest contestants. He is a pageant veteran, having competed in Mister
International 2015 held in Manila where he placed fourth runner-up.
Jakub describes himself as a happy man who is living the dream who says that he can handle stress and doesn't crack under pressure.
He works as an entrepreneur, nutritionist, and fitness trainer
which he describes as a dream job with ambitions to inspire and motivate people to live more active healthier and happy lives.

as he has a sister who suffers from the same syndrome and would like to support and integrate them more into society. His hobbies include
reading, hiking, and volleyball with a special talent for singing. His motto is "Always
carry with you a smile to share."
And number one Lebanon Jean Paul Bitar. At 32
hHe is the oldest contestant in the group, but he's also the sexiest and the hottest
Standing at 6 feet 1 this Lebanese hunk was first runner-up in Mr. Lebanon 2014.

Plus, he's a certified personal trainer and model. I don't mind being trained by him at all!
