Ripped, tattooed underwear model Alex Minksy will take your breath away. Not because he’s beautiful — he is! — but because his story is heart-squeezingly inspiring.
Three years ago, Minksy was a Marine in Afghanistan went a roadside bomb exploded. He lost consciousness — and lost his leg. After being in a coma for 47 days, Minsky’s brain “came back online” and he started the slow journey towards recovery. A drinking problem set him back again, but when a photographer spotted him at the gym and asked him to pose, he stumbled into a new career: Modeling.
