MENLO PARK, California – Seventeen-year old Jesse and Christian Perkins are Filipino-American twins who seem to have it all.
The boys are respected athletes, winning the Grand Prix for Doubles and Northern California’s Athletes of the Week.
They are also promising musicians, singers and upcoming models. The twins were recently chosen as 2 of the top 60 most gorgeous men in the world by Nigel Who! Males 2012.

Their grades can’t be beat as well, as the boys both have 4.5 GPAs.
The twins credit their parents for their achievements.
"Our parents are a driving force in our lives and they instilled in us to be the best that we could be, in... school, athletics. That helps us get motivated," says Jesse.
Tess and Tarny Perkins said they raised their boys as Christians, prayer warriors who strive to live a good life.
“We wanted to make sure they would be role models, not only for themselves but for the family and the world,” said Tess.
To be the best they can be, the Perkins laid down rules for the boys.
"No partying," Christian said. "We're cool with that. We don't want to drink, we don't want to do drugs or smoke."
The twins also cannot use Facebook.
"We're not going to have any of that, even instant messaging," Jesse said.
"And no girls," Christian added. "Not right now. My parents said no for now."
But they do have their celebrity crushes. Jesse likes Kim Chiu, while Christian thinks Erich Gonzales is pretty.
For now, nothing and no one can distract the boys from achieving more in life.
Top colleges all over the United States, including Stanford and Yale, have sent letters to the twins.
"God gave them gifts," said their father, Tarny. "It's up to them to take advantage of the gifts God gave them. If they do, their world is frighteningly great."
The Perkins twins are considering taking a year off and living in the Philippines to pursue show business. The possibilities are endless for them, but what’s certain is that they have what it takes to be even more successful in life.
