Coming from a small country, I have learned the importance of getting to know other cultures and languages. However, I don't feel that my native country plays a very big role in this competition. I feel more European than Danish and I'm sure that I could be happy living in any European country.

| Ireland Name: Keith Kearney Age: 25 Height: 175 City: Dublin Occupation: Professional carpenter Hobbies: Keeping fit, travel and clubbing. Zodiac: Taurus
I grew up in Dublin, and loved sports especially horse-riding and swimming. I was a boy scout for a while and I was part of the summer project in Newcastle Riding School training kids to ride horses. When I left school I worked in a call centre but then I moved to Spain where my family opened a bar in Alicante. I returned to Dublin last year and I was only back when I competed for Mr Gay Dublin which I won and now I am Mr Gay Ireland. My highlights were posing for the first ever Irish gay calendar with 11 other finalists and the money raised went to HIV/Aids and to the earthquake victims in Pakistan.

I am an easy going guy. Almost always smiling. I love my job as a freelance actor, although it doesn´t pay much. It is more of a lifestyle than a job, really. I love going to concerts and I wish I had the finances to go to cultural events all the time! I am a big dreamer and my favorite past time is to lie in bed with people I care for and cuddle. I have a huge bed called "The Optimist" and I own a huge selection of broken instruments. I am proud to be representing Norway in Mr Gay Europe and I told everyone that if I won Mr Gay Norway I would walk down Main Street in my home town and make my own Gay Pride March, which I did!
