Nature of a Boy
The conversation, published in the magazine's In Conversation With section, carries the name of the project: Nature of a Boy. It moves through masculinity, vulnerability, identity, spirituality and self-discovery. Leandro talks about how his career grew beyond the set: writing, editorial work, production and scouting models. He talks about patience, about years of persistence, and about learning to handle rejection without letting it define him. And he talks about the small rituals that keep him close to nature, like crystals and incense.
The full conversation is on the Numéro Netherlands website.
Up to this cover

In Leandro's words
In the conversation with Numéro Netherlands, he was asked what nature gives him:
"It doesn't ask me to be anything."
