Not because he was late. David Gandy is never late for anything, because nothing truly starts until David Gandy is there. But in case he was stared at by hungry eyes. Getting on last all the time means David Gandy can never pay for, say, the Speedy Boarding option on EasyJet flights, because what’s the point? Maybe that’s why he sometimes looks sad in his photos.
