Shaquille O'Neal's astonishing success has not caused his kids to shy away from pursuing a career in basketball, but one of his sons Myles Brown went for a different career path.

The youngster is working towards becoming a model and has already started appearing on runways. He made his fashion week debut at a Dolce & Gabbana Fashion show, which took place in Milan back in 2018.

Myles has modeled for many brands since then, including Balmain and COWBOY. He dropped some pictures of himself posing in ADIOS COWBOY! Fit on Instagram last year, November.

Although Myles does not play basketball as his father did, it does not seem to have affected their bond at all if the 23-year-old's post for his dad's birthday is anything to go by. The post was captioned:

Myles, who dropped some quarantine selfies at the beginning of May, is currently social distancing with his dad and brothers. Myles has been working out and engaging in lots of leisure activities while in quarantine. He has also been making funny videos with his brothers.

Although he seems to be having an enjoyable time, the aspiring model who recently started DJing has also been doing some work. He recently had a live debut set on YouTube for a virtual festival, Trillerfest, which also featured Migos. He spoke about the set during an interview with Stock X for their new quarantine series.

"I'm excited to get it out and share it with the world. Not going to lie, I'm a little nervous, but looking forward to it…"

The brand new DJ is multi-talented as he is also a TV personality. He has appeared on reality shows produced by his mum Shaunie O'Neal who used to be married to his dad. Back in 2019, Myles appeared on "Basketball Wives" with his mum.

While the two were conversing, the relationship between his mum and Shaquille came up. This prompted Shaunie to ask his opinion on the idea of her and Shaquille getting back together.

Myles, however, told his mum that he did not know how to feel about it. Shaquille O'Neal fathered four of Shaunie's kids while they were still together.

The couple tied the knot on the 22nd of December, 2002, in Beverly Hills, California. The marriage turned sour after some years and eventually ended when Shaunie filed for divorce in 2010.
