niki huey interview
Niki Huey, for those of you who don’t know, is the women in the Jesse McCartney “Leavin’” music video. You know the one, where Jesse McCartney looks oddly like Frankie Muniez. She was also in the “Summertime” music video for New Kids On The Block. Some other sites (and previously mine) say Niki Huey is from Singapore. Wrong, she is American born and raised and hails from Cincinnati, Ohio.
I felt pretty stupid not knowing the basic facts about her so I did some research…
She is from Cincinatti, Ohio. She’s living in Los Angeles. She played soccer her entire life and she plays other sports from time to time. She scuba-dives and has an impressive modeling resume that includes Boost Mobile, Abercrombie & Fitch, Mercedes Benz and FHM. But even this did not satisfy this blogger, so I went to straight to the source…
It’s a Guy Thing: How long have you been a model?
Niki Huey: I’ve been modeling on and off since I was about 15 I guess. I would go to LA during the summers and would do jobs here and there in Ohio.
GT: What is your favorite aspect of being a model?
NH: Traveling. Getting to go places and experience things that most people twice my age have never/will never get the opportunity to. AND CRAFT SERVICE. We get some seriously good food on sets! I always get excited for meals hahaha.
GT: What is your least favorite?
NH: Mostly just the stigma behind it. Sometimes the people. There are always truths behind stereotypes, and it just makes me mad when people perpetuate them. And in the “modeling industry” it certainly happens.
GT: If you weren’t a model what do you think you’d be doing?
NH: Writing for some travel-oriented publication. Hoping that one day I could work for National Geographic or the Explorer Channel.
GT: Many sites have said you are from Singapore, is there any truth to that?
NH: No, I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I lived in Singapore for 3 months and modeled in a few countries throughout Asia.
GT: You have modelled for many companies as well as actied in music videos, what has been your favorite shoot/video?
NH: I really can’t pick because they all have their really good parts! I just filmed a commercial for HP Computers with Shaun White (pro snowboarder/ skateboarder) last week that was awesome!
GT: What was your most embarrassing moment in your modelling career?
NH: I don’t really get embarrassed easily…I grew out of that a long time ago, thank goodness. Maybe just being recognized sometimes…it’s weird and I’m not used to it. And even things like this interview or people writing about me on websites…it’s funny.
GT: What was your proudest moment?
NH: I can’t say that through modeling I’ve done anything to be “proud” of. It’s just a job. Hopefully when I grow up and enter the real world I can make some sort of impact that I can be proud of.
GT: You say your into sports, did you watch the NBA Finals?
NH: I’m somewhat of a gym-rat, so I watched whenever I was running at the gym…but not all of it. I don’t watch TV at home – makes me read more, which I think is better.
GT: Who would you like to see in the White House come next January?
NH: Kathy Griffin. …I do have my pick, but I try not to talk politics
GT: Seen any good movies lately?
NH: Umm…I’m not a big movie-goer, but I am excited to see WANTED with Angelina Jolie!
GT: What are you currently reading?
NH: I Thought There’d Be Cake by Sloan Crosley, and A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

Yeah she is hot but not from Asia. She went to my high school in Cincinnati.
She’s not so much from Asia. I taught her in high school chemistry, and I can say for certain that she’s from Cincinnati, OH.
She does qualify as many different nations when she’s modeling, but I’m certain in saying that she’s American born and raised.
she’s a pretty big bitch too though
She’s not from asia, she’s from cincinnati.
She was just in the New Kids on the Block music video for Summertime too haha!
I haven’t been able to watch Niki’s peformance in The Final Curtain.Only when she’s in trouble,and I hope her character is saved!

Have you ever spoken to her? She is not a bitch at all. You cannot just assume a person has a bad attitude because they are popular and successful..
Niki looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO different in leavin!
OmGmOmGmOmGmOmGmO
Check her out in the new Enrique Iglesias / Sean Garett video for “Away.”
Niki Huey is really gorgeous in her photos. Her beauty is like that of a goddess. Should I say, she has a perfect beauty. Maybe, she can try a career in hollywood. She can be more famous there.
wow she looks VERY different from Leavin. She looks better in the Leavin vid.
hey i know niki personally and she is nothing but sweet and gorgeous. There is no need for hasty remarks. Before making such comments you should try to get to know her and if you don’t get the chance than don’t say anything at all.
