Bonus: Modeling, Rugby, and Addiction in Japan

Franciszek Ślusarczyk’s move to Tokyo at the age of seven marked the beginning of a turbulent period in his life, during which he worked as a fashion model, flunked out of schools, and developed a drug habit. He had difficulties growing up in a place where he felt different, and it took him years to find balance and stability. 

We discussed:

• Moving to Japan because of dad’s modeling job 
• Modeling in Japan 
• Getting kicked out of school for smoking weed 
• Abuse and rape at Franciszek’s rugby school 
• Returning to Poland expecting improvement, but instead facing more problems
• Working in subpar conditions in the Netherlands 
• Life in a remote part of Iceland 
• Meeting in Iceland someone who lived in Japan and had a story similar to Franciszek’s
