Jade Goody’s lookalike son Bobby Brazier to become a model?
His proud TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier reveals hopes and ambitions for teen
DOTING dad Jeff Brazier has opened up about his future hopes for his sons with the late Jade Goody, one of which could see eldest child Bobby hit the catwalk.
Recent snaps of the good-looking 13-year-old uploaded online by the TV presenter and life coach drew gasps on social media due to the striking resemblance to his mum.
The reality TV star tragically lost her battle to cancer seven years ago.
Speaking to The Sun Online about the prospect of the teen forging a modelling career, the 37-year-old was enthusiastic.
He said: “I think that’s something he might like to do when he’s older, but obviously that’s not something that you can necessarily aspire to, you would have to qualify by looking a certain way.
“I know we’re all biased towards our children, but he does strike a handsome pose.”
Jeff continued: “He also loves his drama and football. As a parent I just try and get him into everything that he shows an interest in.”
He also revealed that youngest son Freddie, 11, is quite the budding artist.
Proud Jeff explained: “It has been quite frustrating with Freddie recently because he loves art – he’s so good at drawing.
“You can see he finds it really expressive and it’s not something I was particularly into, but that’s not going to stop me from trying to encourage him.”
He continued: “I took him to an art class and for some reason he hated it. It was one of those really frustrating moments for parents when you think ‘hold on, you’re drawing at home all the time, I’ve taken you to an art class, surely you’d be enthusiastic? It’s as simple as that!’ But it isn’t.
“Maybe he didn’t like the large group, maybe he didn’t like the teacher… I’ve no idea because I couldn’t get it out of him.
“What I’m going to try is a one-on-one session with maybe an art student who I’m sure would be happy to earn a couple of quid and pass on what they’re learning as well.
“Especially as Freddie’s going to senior school in September there are going to be so many opportunities available to him.”
Jeff himself has been trying out a new skill of late.
He recently paid a visit to his old primary school to learn the ropes as a Lollipop person.
It was to help raise awareness of a nationwide campaign by Churchill Insurance to put 50 volunteer Lollipoppers back on the school crossings for the start of the new academic year.
Once a familiar sight on the school run, the number of Lollipoppers is worryingly on the decline and something which Jeff is keen to get behind.
