Conan Altatis, Anakin Nontiprasit
Despite being one of the early favorites among the 72 candidates of Mister World 2019, Anakin Nontiprasit, 20, of Thailand did not place during the coronation night on August 23, 2019. Still, the Thai model and actor is grateful for the support he received.
The Mister World 2019 coronation night took place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Mr. World 2016 Rohit Khandelwal, 29, of India crowned Jack Heslewood, 27, of England as his successor while Fezile Mkhize, 28, of South Africa was first runner-up and Mr. World Africa 2019.
Finishing in the Top 5 were Carlos Franco, 27, of Brazil and Alejandro Martinez, 26, of Dominican Republic, who was also Mr. World Caribbean 2019. Brian Faugier, 25, Mexico was Mr. World 2019 second runner-up and Mr. World Americas 2019 while Alberto Nodale, 28, of Austria and Jody Baines Saliba, 26, of the Philippines were Mr. World Europe 2019 and Mr. World Asia and Oceania 2019, respectively.
Right after the ceremony, I approached Anakin to express my support. He was very gracious to his fans and was happy for the support he was getting despite the loss.
“I did my best,” Anakin told me. “I gave my best shot to everything. In the end, (I did not win but) it’s fine.”
“I wanna say thank you again for all your support,” Anakin continued. “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your support and thank you again. Thank you. Salamat (Thank you).”
In the Top Model challenge, which was one of the five fast track events, Anakin was one of the 25 quarter-finalists. The challenge was won by Brian Faugier, 25, Mexico, who eventually finished as Mr. World 2018 second runner-up.
Hailing from Maha Sarakham, Isan, Thailand, Anakin was one of the youngest candidates in Mr. World 2019. It was the 10th edition of the male international beauty pageant and it was the first time it was held in the Philippines.
Born in Thailand, Anakin spent six years of his childhood in Canada and graduated from Monarch Park Collegiate Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Maha Sarakham native is currently studying International Communication Arts at the Stamford International University in Bangkok, Thailand.
While studying, Anakin works as a model and an actor. His favorite sports are ice hockey, football and Muay Thai and he also enjoys lego building.
On April 29, 2019, Anakin was crowned Mr. World Thailand 2019 at the Demeter Show, Damnoen-Saduak in Ratchaburi, Thailand. He bested 76 other candidates.
