Meet Tyson Beckford’s supermodel son, Jordan Craig Beckford: he hung out with Rihanna and appeared in Eminem’s music video as a teen – now he’s walking runways and releasing music
- Jordan Craig Beckford, 24, grew up alongside celebrities like Eminem, Alicia Keys and Rihanna, even appearing in the music video for ‘No Love’ as a kid
- His mum, meanwhile, is April Roomet – a stylist who’s dressed Snoop Dogg and worked in the costume departments for Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen DeGeneres’ TV shows
Tyson Beckford took the modelling world by storm in the 90s. He was the iconic Ralph Lauren Polo male model to beat and was even crowned as VH1’s model of the year in 1995. But most importantly, the 51-year-old changed the runway for generations to come. His striking features can be attributed to his father being half Chinese and half Jamaican, while his mother is of Panamanian descent, as per his bio on IMDB.
Tyson’s most recent modelling stint was courtesy of Beyoncé for the Adidas x Ivy Park campaign, which was released earlier this year.
But Tyson’s son Jordan, a native of Los Angeles, California, is also no stranger to the modelling world. He might seem to be following in his father’s footsteps but, in fact, he is making a name for himself in the music industry under the alias Grey Craig.
