Welcome to a vibrant journey of passion and perseverance! Born in Staffordshire, UK, this remarkable individual embarked on a thrilling career that spans continents and disciplines. A former cabin crew member, their early love for French cuisine led them to culinary studies, but it didn't stop there. They graced the catwalk as a model and captivated audiences in professional theatre productions, blending artistry with adventure.
After 28 years of soaring through the skies with various airlines, they embraced early retirement in 2021, transitioning into a noble role as a volunteer English teacher in a Spanish public school. Their commitment to education didn't end there; they freelanced at a small academy, dedicating their spare time to enriching the lives of Spanish children through language.
In 2022, fueled by a rekindled passion for acting, they took a bold step forward by enrolling in a three-year course at the prestigious Acting Academy London, under the guidance of renowned coach Anthony Aibel in NYC. At 59, determination paid off when they landed a lead role in an exhilarating psychological thriller. Join us as we celebrate this inspiring tale of reinvention and the relentless pursuit of dreams! Born in Staffordshire, UK, in 1963 as the eldest of four boys, Bastian's journey has been anything but ordinary. His parents, dedicated to nurturing young minds, worked with children until they passed, fostering a spirit of compassion and creativity within their household. In 2000, seeking new horizons, Howard relocated to the sun-soaked landscapes of Andalusia, Spain, where he continues to thrive today.
In 2005, he turned his entrepreneurial spirit into opening a vibrant hair salon that bears his name, "Howard John," turning his artistic visions into reality. However, his passions extend far beyond hairdressing; after dedicating three years to studying French cuisine in the UK, he developed a profound appreciation for the culinary arts. Despite facing bullying throughout his school years, Howard found refuge in music, mastering woodwind instruments by ear, which became a vital outlet for his creativity.
Marked by a relentless sense of adventure and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Bastian is driven by the pursuit of his dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem. With a keen interest in acting, he gravitates toward roles in psychological thrillers, horror, action, sci-fi, drama, and suspense, while also embracing romance and comedy projects, especially those that highlight LGBTQ+ themes. Bastian embodies a dynamic blend of talent, resilience, and passion, ready to make his mark in the world of performance.
