  • Olivia Jordan
    OLIVIA JORDAN NEW YORK POST – NOVEMBER 2017 Modal Trigger Model Olivia Jordan — one of six open casting finalists for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue — has two favorite assets . but they’re not what you’d expect. “My feet are my favorite part of my body,” the Tulsa, Oklahoma native, 29, says. They’ve carried her through a robust career so far. In 2015, Jordan was crowned Miss USA. She’s currently pursuing an acting career — she’s appeared in “Hot Tub Time Machine 2” and Lifetime’s “Unreal.” And, of course, she’s done some foot modeling on the side. But, growing up, Jordan wasn’t always confident about her body and described herself as a “tall, awkwardly lanky and insecure.” She ended up going to a modeling workshop at 14 years old for a self-esteem boost. And when she showed up to meetings with casting agents who told her to lose weight, she says she pulled out copies of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and said, “These girls looked like me and there’s a place for me in the industry,” Jordan says. “I don’t have to fit into a box.” Meanwhile, her ultimate goal is to be an all-around entertainer. “I’d love to have a career like Tyra Banks’ and Christie Brinkley’s,” she says.

Olivia was chosen by a panel of former Miss Universe and Miss USA titleholders who recognized Olivia’s confidence when she stepped on stage in a hot pink ball gown with ease and gracefully answered questions about what hot button issue will be the next for our country to tackle. Olivia went on to compete at the 2015 MISS UNIVERSE® competition and placed second runner-up out of 80 delegates from around the world. Olivia was born in raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and no matter where a career in front of the camera takes her, she will always call America’s heartland home. Olivia has one older sister who she says is her complete opposite, but also her best friend and biggest fan. Throughout her high school career, Olivia kept busy by focusing on her studies and allocating any spare time to extracurricular activities as a member of the student council, an athlete on the tennis team and captain of varsity cheerleading. The transition to college was easy for an independent person like Olivia, even if it did involve moving halfway across the country to attend Boston University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in health science. This focus of study was something that Olivia had been avid about long before her college career and a subject that encouraged her to become a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor while she was a student at BU.
