David Gandy has been announced as The Whole Man Academy's first global ambassador.

The initiative, established by BBC news editor Matthew Shaw and life coach Anthony Astbury in 2018, is 'a space where men talk mental strength, mindset and male identity in the 21st century', and the British model commented 'The Whole Man Academy is a fantastic initiative. I’ve had my own problems with mental health and I’ve learned that one of the best ways to build resilience is simply to start talking'.
