Piyumal Sithum Pattuwearachchi of Sri Lanka was named First Runner-Up at the 23rd edition of Manhunt International, held yesterday (10) in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Representing Sri Lanka with distinction, Pattuwearachchi also secured the prestigious Swimwear Digital Winner title, further highlighting his exceptional presence and performance throughout the competition.

The title of Manhunt International 2025 was awarded to the representative from France, Adonis Renaud, who emerged as the overall winner of this year’s globally recognized male modeling event.

Rhyeme Wright of Jamaica was adjudged Second Runner-Up followed by Jordan San Juan of Philippines and Vietnam’s Vu Linh Nguyen.

Manhunt International, established in 1993 by Metromedia Singapore and Procon Leisure International, is one of the world’s longest-standing and most respected international male model competitions. 

Its origins, however, date back to earlier years with a national preliminary held in Singapore before evolving into an international platform. 

The pageant has since gained prominence for discovering and nurturing emerging male modeling talent across the globe.
