Rick Genest (Montreal, 7 Agosto 1985) è un modello canadese, anche conosciuto come Zombie Boy per un tatuaggio che copre la maggior parte del suo corpo e che lo rende simile ad un cadavere.
Il tatuaggio, realizzato da Frank Lewis, ha richiesto tre anni per essere
completato. Rick Genest è comparso nel video musicale del brano di Lady Gaga Born this Way, in cui la cantante compare tatuata allo stesso modo.
Grazie alla popolarità ottenuta, Genest è diventato testimonial della campagna promozionale della collezione autunno/inverno di Thierry Mugler.

I think this is a business genius found ... And he's amazing, even if I stay with the same doubt: His success is something temporary or that will last over time? It all depends on him and we'll see.
Io penso che questa sia una trovata commerciale geniale... E che lui sia incredibile, anche se rimango sempre con lo stesso dubbio: il suo è un successo temporaneo o che durerà nel tempo? Dipende tutto da lui e noi staremo a vedere.
Kisses,Irene

Le foto sono molto belle e di impatto ovviamente, e lui a suo modo è molto comunicativo. E' chiaro che ha trovato il modo di sfruttare questa scelta radicale che ha fatto. credo però che col tempo queste scelte portino a un pentimento.

Da quello che vedo il fondotinta è veramente coprente!!! Ihihiihih...!!! Ci vuole coraggio per farsi un tatuaggio simile...io sicuramente non ne sarei all'altezza!!! Però...devo dire...che gli sta proprio bene...a mio parere...lo rende affascinante! :-) Ottima la campagna commerciale! :-)
