The Real World: Paris aired almost three years ago, and you haven't seen one of Paris' most recognized cast members do any Real World / Road Rules Challenges, so what has Simon been up to? Our recent interview with him answered just that, and what happened as life was back to "normal" after his season aired.

Your season of Real World aired almost three years ago. What have you been doing since then?

Well right after the show I went on vacation and after flew to LA for some publicity work. I liked California and decided to move out there for a while with Mallory. We both did the usual speaking engagements/ club/event appearances which was fun for a while and I got to see a lot of the States. After going back and forth between Dublin and LA for a couple of years I decided I needed some structure so I went back to school for a year and studied TV and Film Production. Since then I've been modeling in Europe and I still go out to LA regularly (I'm there right now;-). It's crazy, I was only 18 when I did the show which makes me 21 now so I'm still finding my way.

Have you been invited to do any of the Real World / Road Rules challenges? If so, why haven't you and do you plan to do any in the future?

It's been discussed. For me it has never seemed like a great idea. I'm not naturally athletic so I think it's important to choose your battles, you could say ;-)

What was it like living in a house with six Americans?

It was everything-horrible, fantastic, loud, extreme, funny. But I don't relate those feelings to being in a house with six AMERICANS. It just comes from being in a house with six strong personalities.
