About Me
Darryl Perry is a Big and Tall model, actor, and singer from Dayton, Ohio. Standing at 6’ 7, “Larger than life” is the best way to describe his huge presence and personality. As one of four children born to music-loving parents, Darryl has always connected strongly to the arts, especially music and film.
Even with a passion for arts, though, growing up was tough; Darryl was always bigger than his peers and often got made fun of by them, leading to serious body image issues and a lack of self-confidence that followed him all the way through his early twenties.
Thankfully, that changed overnight when his eyes were opened to the Big and Tall modeling community in 2019. He was suddenly surrounded by lots of people who felt about themselves exactly the way he had. This newfound kinship inspired Darryl to speak out about his own pain and embolden other big men and women who are struggling with the same issues he did. Darryl is now inspiring other young men to stand up for themselves with his What’s Up, Lil Bro? video series, motivating young men to become their greatest selves by teaching them fundamental life lessons like controlling their tempers, building their confidence, and busting through the world’s stereotypes, all in a relaxed, open, engaging manner. Darryl tells his young followers, “Life can be hard as a young man but I’m here to help you navigate through it! I’m proud of you!”
