"GNTM's Whiz Kid" Moritz: Clashing with Marshall Over Walking Dilemma
Heidi's preference regarding a particular photo of Moritz remains unclear. - CanHeidi provide a photo for Favorit Moritz?
Even though the 2025 season of Germany's Next Topmodel (GNTM) is all about color and self-expression, it seems like Heidi Klum's young contender, Moritz, is more focused on challenging conventions.
On this week's episode 19, Moritz caused a stir by refusing to heed Austrian designer Marina Hoermanseder's request to walk the ramp during a presenting opportunity. In past seasons, Hoermanseder's extravagant fashion designs have often drawn laughter from the models. This time, Moritz opted to stay true to his individual style and rejected Hoermanseder's command, eliciting surprise and disappointment from the designer and his fellow contestants.
Responding to her dismay, Moritz clarified that he didn't want to perform on command but rather from his own motivation. Despite the controversy, Moritz has managed to secure several jobs on the show, standing out as one of the most successful and notable participants thanks to his unexpected behavior[1].
In another twist, ex-participant Betty Taube dropped by the model penthouse with a social media challenge that doubled as a casting for a major summer drink campaign in Germany and Austria. The winners were Katharina and Moritz who, interestingly, are long-standing favorites among the contestants[2].
As the competition heats up, will Moritz's unconventional approach serve him well, or will it ultimately result in his elimination? Stay tuned for more drama on Germany's Next Topmodel!
