A few months ago, a wave of popularity for 29-year-old Canadian firefighter - Marshall Perrin swept across social media around the world. His Instagram account has a little more than 300 publications and already more than 400 thousand subscribers! Marshall's height is 193 centimeters, he is athletic and in addition his body is covered with tattoos. The charismatic fire fighter was noticed by modeling agencies long before he became an Instagram star. In his spare time, he advertises brands for menswear and uploads photosets to his page.
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Marshall explained how his popularity began: "Well, I had heard of Instagram and like any app I usually take a while before I get on it; like snapchat- it took me forever to get on it. So I was aware that Instagram was there, and one of my friends mentioned that I should get on it and I did. When I first started I posted the normal stuff like pictures of me, friends, and my family, but about two years ago I got back into weight lifting and I started posting about my progress and that’s when I noticed my following start to grow. A lot of people were into my tattoos to start off, but once I started posting my fitness progress that’s when my followers really started to grow. A lot of people related to the fitness side of things- they really liked those posts."
At first, many subscribers were only interested in his tattoos, but really a lot of people began to be added when he started talking about his athletic progress. Then he did not consider Instagram as a platform for self-realization. However, when his account grew a little, he began to study pages with 100, 200 thousand subscribers, and thought about how he could achieve such a result himself. Then he began to pay more attention to his page and after 2 years, the number of subscribers to his account exceeded 200 thousand users.
Marshall is also thinking about creating his own clothing line, because at 193 cm tall, designer items from brands like G-Star or Diesel do not fit well enough on him. That is why he wants to pay attention to clothes for tall people.
With so many followers, Marshall doesn't consider himself a star or a celebrity. He himself says:
"I do not think that just because I have that number beside my name on Instagram that I’m above anybody else, or anything special. Honestly, I like helping people- it’s an everyday part of my job as a firefighter. All the comments and kind remarks that are left on my page motivates me as well, and I don’t think my followers know that."
However, as often happens with people who have achieved a certain level of popularity, along with fans, those people appear in life who try to denigrate or insult him, leaving comments like those that Marshall is not a real firefighter, but just a pampered model disguised for PR. So in fact, Marshall Perrin has been serving as a firefighter for more than 8 years and, like no one else, knows what it means to risk your life every day.
Thanks to his athletic appearance, tattoos, charisma, dangerous work - the popularity of an attractive Canadian firefighter is growing every day, and additional interest in his person from the female half is due to the fact that his heart is still free.
