We get to know the real David Gandy

Nothing cheers us up more than a random sighting of David Gandy on a Thursday afternoon. Even better though is getting to know e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g about him. Read our revealing Q&A with him now.

As Mr.Gandy is soooo in demand (this is a man who took 75 flights last year alone) it’s rare to see him – well, taking the afternoon off. So, good on him we thought after spotting him strolling the Milanese streets. Not five minutes later though we discovered his free afternoon was actually an appointment at the Dolce & Gabbana style office ahead of his appearance at next weekend's San Remo music festival (Feb 21st).

This got us thinking - what’s really beyond his air-miles and that impeccable dress sense? Being Swide, we pulled a few strings – and just for you, we sent him a list of Q&A’s based on the famous Proust questionnaire. Below are his revealing answers. A word of warning – if you weren’t in love with him before reading this – you will be after.
