Pageant season has arrived with glamour, swagger, and an exceptional competitor ready to represent the USA: Riley Hedstrom.
The openly gay 29-year-old model and athlete is set to represent the United States at the prestigious Mister Global 2025 competition in Thailand. After already securing the national title of Mister America Global 2024, Hedstrom is now preparing to compete against contenders from around the world for the international crown.
For Hedstrom, the mission is deeper than the title. He sees the experience as a lifelong memory and a distinct honor to represent his nation. He shared, “I like to think about when I’m an old man, how cool it’ll be to say that I did this when I was in my 20s. I represented the United States! That’s something I think about that’ll just be funny when I’m a wrinkly, gray-haired old man,” he said with a chuckle, reports Instinct magazine.
His journey highlights his blend of impressive physical ability, striking looks, and engaging personality as he takes on the world stage.
