“I searched for my partner Eric on the Internet ahead of the photo shoot. At first, I expected him to have just a handsome figure. However, after meeting him, I found him to be a nice guy with the aura of an actor,” Panzetta was quoted as saying after the shooting event. “If I have a chance, I want to meet him again,” he said.
