Crossover
- Lebanon Seif Al Walid Harb — is a former contestant who represented Lebanon in Mister International 2023, held in Bangkok, Thailand, where he finished Top-20 and won the Best in Swimwear and Ayutthaya Popular Vote awards. He was also included in the lists of the Most Popular Men and the Most Charismatic Men.[15]
Controversies
On January 15, 2024, during the grand final event that took place in Spain, an awkward situation unfolded. The host country's representative's family members rushed onto the stage, creating a scandalous scene and causing chaos in the final night of the competition. They were not pleased by the result, as their contestant was not included in the top 6. The Councilor of Hinojos, honorable Macarena Cabello Alvarez, who sat as one of the judges and the Chief of Police of Hinojos came and pacified the scene immediately, and managed to continue the show with the support of the locals of Spain who showed that they are educated, well-mannered and very respectful of the outcome of the finals night. The next day, the Councilor from Villarasa, Honorable Irene Sanchez Bernal, who also sat as one of the judges said “As a 'onubense' I want to say that what happened yesterday does not represent Spain, nor Huelva, much less the municipalities of both Villarasa and Hinojos who accompanied & assisted Mister Grand International Team, staffs, members of the juries, National Directors, and families/supporters of the candidates, and made sure they are all safe & secured.[16][17]
