Serendipity looms large in Ty Pennington’s professional life.
For instance, when a stranger at a gas station invited Pennington to model, he felt pretty skeptical.
However, it was a legit opportunity that led toPennington’s quick dip in the modeling world.
More importantly, it was a step on the path to his uber-successful TV career.
While he modeled, Pennington did some TV commercials.
Although this audition was crucial moment for career, at the time, Pennington wasn’t particularly invested.
““And that’s how you get a job.”
From the start, Pennington stood out from the crowd.
However, he did have confidence in his carpentry skills.
Instead, he decided to have some fun and go in a zany direction.
“I started measuring his height instead, and the camera guy started laughing,” Pennington added.
“He could tell I was going to build Frank [Bielec] a coffin.”
And I was like, ‘Well, I’m half of that.'”
However, it seems like Pennington was being modest.
Not only did he have the building know-how, he excelled in front of the camera.
This wasn’t the first time Pennington’s sense of fun was contagious.
Earlier, Pennington was sought after for TV commercials because of the positive vibes he brought on set.
Surprisingly, Pennington wasn’t even aware of his superpower.
“I have the ability to make people relaxed and feel like themselves on camera.
On “Trading Spaces” Pennington’s interpersonal skills were crucial as he collaborated with different designers.
When he returned for the reboot, Pennington happily discovered that the bond between the cast hadn’t changed.
“We really were such a family.
And so it was a blast,” Pennington informed The List.
