This week on Love Island USA, Bryce Alakai Dettloff shared that in his youth, “the hottest” girl at school declared him “the cutest” boy. Then, “all the guys used to bully me because they thought I was better looking”. Well, God gives the toughest battles to the strongest soldiers. Naturally, we had to scour the internet for pictures of Bryce when he was younger.<\/p>\n

It seems Bryce wasn’t making up that he was considered “the cutest”, because a sizeable chunk of Tumblr in 2016 also thought this. Bryce from Love Island<\/a> used to be fairly famous among chronically online teenagers. He had his own mini fanbase on Tumblr and Wattpad back in the day. People even wrote fanfiction about him?! I don’t know how to process this information.<\/p>\n

Bryce from Love Island began modelling in his teens<\/h2>\n

Bryce’s moment of fame makes a bit more sense once you learn he began working as a model while he was a teenager<\/a>. He did shoots for Calvin Klein and DKNY.<\/p>\n

These pics of Bryce when he was younger make me laugh so hard<\/h2>\n
