Antonio Barlow is a London-based model, writer, actor and stylist. As a proud Black, gay creative living with hearing loss, he brings a unique and authentic perspective to everything he does.

His career highlights include modelling for Aldi, being the face of their pop-up Christmas restaurant, writing his own podcast comedy series, and launching a food stall business. He has also worked as a background artist across a range of television and film productions, while continuing to develop his passion for comedic writing.

Antonio lives with an autoimmune-related hearing loss, a condition that can be unpredictable. However, it has shaped his resilience and outlook on life, teaching him to adapt, stay grounded, and move forward with positivity. With the support of his hearing aids, he continues to pursue his creative ambitions with confidence.

Driven by a desire to be what he rarely saw growing up, Antonio aims to be visible as a Black, gay, disabled individual in the media — showing that challenges do not define limits.

Alongside his creative work, Antonio has a passion for cooking, styling, and travel.
