Chef Eyal Shani Models on Runway Ahead of MasterChef Return

Chef Eyal Shani, known for his role as a judge on the Israeli cooking show MasterChef, surprised fans by walking the runway at the graduation fashion show of Bezalel Academy graduates. This marked a new experience for Shani, who swapped his chef's apron for designer clothes, showcasing two distinct outfits including an androgynous piece and a mafia-inspired coat. In an interview, Shani described the unique feeling of modeling and the personal connection he found to fashion, noting that as a straight man he rarely finds exciting clothing options in everyday life. He also shared insights about his role on MasterChef, emphasizing his ability to spot hidden talent and his goal to help contestants transform their potential into greatness. Shani revealed his rigorous morning routine of running six kilometers daily, despite feeling his body deteriorate, while his spirit pushes him forward. The runway experience offered him a fresh perspective, making him feel as if he was starting life anew. Shani is set to return as a judge in the upcoming season of MasterChef Dream Team on Keshet 12.
