Darius said as a teenager, he was always bullied and made fun of because of his skin condition and that he even considered killing himself at one point.
Darius first showed symptoms of vitiligo when he was just 12 years old.
Vitiligo can be caused by stress and after the death of his grandmother, Darius started losing the pigmentation in his hands and then it traveled to the rest of his body.
He said:
'I went to the doctors in 2000 and they diagnosed me with vitiligo. 'I remember holding my mum's hands and squeezing them because the name just sounded so scary.'He said he was offered cream and makeup to cover the patches but he preferred to hide them with clothes.
Fortunately, he got discovered by model scouts on Instagram and has since been modeling for different brands. Now he is looking to find a partner who is willing to love him with his flaws.
He said:
'I was handed this physical difference and there were no instructions to go with it - you don't know how to deal with vitiligo.
'I spent years hating myself and the way I looked because of the ignorance of other people - but now I'm proud of who I am."

He got nice tattoos. This is the complication Michael Jackson had that made him bleach his skin. But this guy's own is not so serious...I guess it is just some parts of his hands that are affected.

Good looking brother. The only thing I would say....not in reference to his condition....is he needs to balance out his body more. Get to the squats in the gym bro! Upper body and lower body is waaayyyy too disproportionate! Looking like Hellboy up top and Fido Dido on the bottom! No Bueno! Many blessings.
Confidence is a thing if you don't have it then fake it....nice body tho
