Kerrie McMahon

An Irish beauty who values the simple things in life.

Were you excited to shoot for FHM?

Of course. It’s an honour to be featured, especially in the Australian edition as it’s one of my favourite countries. I have lots of distant relations from there. My family did a road trip to visit them all where I got to experience some of its unique magic - I even saw a koala!

Tell us something surprising about you?

I am shy and never ever expected to have a modelling career. I think people who personally know me find the match up quite funny, but I trust how life unfolds in mysterious ways.

What are some of your hobbies?

I love walking on the beach, reading, swimming and hiking.

Describe your perfect man.

Somebody even tempered, kind, confident, caring who makes me feel safe and looked after.

What turns you off the most?

People being rude to others and people with no sense of humour.

Describe your perfect date.

I’m open to anything but I think it’s lovely when a guy takes charge and makes a plan in advance.

Dates can be daunting so it’s nice to be prepared and then just focus on getting to know each other. I also really appreciate good manners and gestures, like being collected beforehand.

What would you consider to be your biggest challenge as a model so far?
