Other Man

Growing up in a small town in the USA, Michael Bergin never imagined that he might someday be modelling underwear on a jumbo-size billboard in Times Square. He never thought that he would land a starring role on one of the world's most popular TV shows. Nor did he imagine that he would someday find himself in competition with John F. Kennedy Jnr. for the love of a woman. For the first time, Michael reveals the truth behind a life in the limelight and a relationship shrouded in controversy. From his early days as a short, bully magnet, to his lean years trying to make it in modelling, to his meteoric rise to fashion icon, Michael's journey has been tough and his victories hard-won. Never before has a male model of Michael's stature revealed the hardships, sacrifice, and wild adventures that make up a day in the life a male supermodel. Michael's private life has been scrutinized as eagerly as his Times Square billboard ever was. In the late '80s, Michael saw a woman at a bar and fell in love. But it is not your everyday love story - the girl was Carolyn Bessette, the woman who would marry JFK Jr. Michael and Carolyn had a passionate relationship that was so intense that not even her marriage to an American prince could come between them. For the first time, Michael tells the truth about his relationship with Carolyn, a complex woman whose tragic death haunts him to this day.
