Alex Consani can do it all, from making history with her modeling career to cracking us up on social media. Now, the internet’s discovered another of her hidden talents: a knack for mathematics.
In a throwback clip posted to TikTok by fashion brand Tory Burch, Consani was getting ready to walk the runway at New York Fashion Week when she was asked what career she’d pursue if she weren’t a model.
“If I wasn’t a model, I feel like I would do something in math, which is gaggy. ‘Cause I kind of love math! No one expects that,” Consani said. “I was always good at math in school, my favorite subject. So maybe like a rocket scientist?” With that, she shrugged and said, “Gag it!”
To test Consani’s math knowledge on the spot, the interviewer asked her, “What’s pi?”

Consani immediately rattled off pi to the 14th digit: “3.1415926535897 … something,” she said. “But check that. I’m pretty sure I’m right!”

“I’ve built a great friendship with her and her wife,” the Chiefs quarterback said of Swift at a press conference.
And right she was, which Consani’s fans marveled at in the TikTok’s comments section. “She just ended Pythagoras,” one user wrote.
“Mama a mathematician behind YOU 💜,” commented another.
“get her into NASA NOW,” demanded a third — and frankly, we’d like to see it.
Other commenters praised Consani for having both beauty and brains. “I could always tell from her sense of humour that she was smart,” one user wrote.
Backstage at the same Tory Burch fashion show, Consani showed off yet another skill: ballet dancing. “I did ballet. Not well, but trust, I did it, and I’ll claim that till the day I die, girl,” she said, then teaching the interview how to plié, sauté, and assume ballet’s five basic positions — though she added her own flair to fifth position. Rocket scientist, ballerina, comedian, and more — what title might Consani claim next?
