Ready to join Derek Zoolander and Hansel in a walk-off? VMan magazine is looking for the next really, really ridiculously good-looking man to grace its cover, following in the footsteps of stars such as Tom Brady, Ashton Kutcher, David Beckham and Orlando Bloom.

The magazine, in conjunction with Ford Models, is holding open auditions. The winner will receive a Diesel wardrobe and a contract with Ford Models, in addition to being featured on the cover of VMan’s fall issue.

Casting calls are taking place across the country, and on Wednesday talent scouts will be at the Diesel clothing store in Portland’s Pearl District. 

Those unable to attend have until Friday to apply online at vman.com. People going to the Diesel event must first preregister at fordmodels.tv.

Finalists will be flown to Los Angeles over Memorial Day weekend for a photo shoot and their chance at male model stardom.
