Andrew Cooper has modelled for the top fashion brands all over
the world. With an iconic Diet Coke ad under his belt, he is now
spreading his nutrition wisdom with new book ‘Juiceman’.
Andrew Cooper’s passion project ‘Juiceman’ is a recipe book
collating hundreds of smoothies, juices, shots, tonics, and cocktails.
His wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for this subject is obvious
from the very first page; this is more of a life guide to juicing,
rather than a collection of recipes. “Ultimately, juicing is a
massive part of me, it’s habitual,” he explains. “It’s like
the gym, it’s a daily routine. Once you get into it, you learn what
it gives you.” ‘Juiceman’ is Cooper’s gift to the world – the
benefits of juicing for him have been immense and he’s spreading the
love.
“I think it makes you feel comfortable. Everyone wants to be the
best they can be. There’s an element of people wanting to cut
corners but everyone knows that natural food is the true source of
vitality, and the easiest way to gain access to it is by juicing.”
Considering the benefits of juicing and the professions of modelling
and acting that Cooper has been part of for more than 10 years, it
comes as no surprise that having that feel-good look and attitude is
so important to him.
The man behind ‘Juiceman’ has returned to a more basic approach to
life. The juices seem to have opened up a spiritual gateway to better
wellbeing.
When he is not reading scripts for potential acting projects,
Cooper’s take on fitness is a daily ritual. “I exercise a lot and
I’m very out-doorsy nowadays! There’s a lot of technology that can
distract people from keeping to the basics and that’s quite
important to me. I live in the middle of the country, I walk my dogs,
I run, I climb, I do yoga. I like to do things that have natural
movements, such as yoga and calisthenics. I’m a massive fan of TRX,
it’s my go to piece of kit that I travel with.”
Cooper talks about a lot about the rejuvenating properties associated
with juicing. It can be the saviour that gets you out of that health
rough patch, something he experienced when he was younger. “I got a
little bit sick with travelling too much when I had my daughter and
then we moved to Cheshire where I’m originally from and bought an
old fruit farm. Then I got into growing my own stuff, I took some time
out, and got into the cleansing. Through the cleansing I healed; I had
some psoriasis and eczema, and was generally run-down. I cleansed for
5 days and got rid of all the skin problems. I gave myself a whole
reboot.” This is only the beginning of what juicing can do to your
mind and body. Sustaining it over a long period can see you reap in
the rewards.
‘Juiceman’ is just the beginning for Cooper who has big ambitions
when it comes to furthering his acting career. Currently appearing in
‘The Royals’, the juiceman is looking to move into action roles and
take Hollywood by storm after the turn of the year.
