Gisele Bundchen
Biography
Hailed
by Rolling Stone as "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"
and named "Model of the Year" by VH1 and Vogue, you would
be hard pressed to find other ways to describe this Brazilian beauty.
Gisele
Caroline Bundchen was born July 20th, 1980, in Horizontina, Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil. Gisele is not the only beauty in her family;
in fact, her five other sisters -- Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Patricia,
and Rafaela -- are also aspiring models. A natural phenomenon, Gisele
stands tall at 5'11" with dark blue eyes, a freckled face and
wavy brown hair.
The road
to becoming today's most sought-after model came by chance for Gisele,
after she was spotted by an Elite Modeling Agency agent while eating
a Big Mac at a Sao Paulo McDonald's with her friends at the age
of 14. Despite her father's disagreement with her career choice,
Gisele moved to the city. In 1995, she entered the "Elite Look
Modeling Competition," and her career has taken off ever since.
Gisele
has since been in campaigns for major fashion houses such as Ralph
Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Valentino, Celine, Gianfranco
Ferre, and Chloe.
As for
magazine covers, she has graced the covers of Vogue USA, Vogue Italia,
Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Arena, Allure, and Rolling Stone.
Gisele
left the Elite Modeling Agency and switched to IMG Model Management
not long ago, which was considered to have been a controversial
act. Her Brazilian agent is presently Monica Monteiro.
Surprisingly,
Gisele is a big fan of sweet popcorn, candy and McDonald's sundaes,
a vice that does not show on her more than statuesque figure.
Nonetheless,
Gisele's chest size has been questioned, but she denies to have
had implants. One thing is for sure: the only thing fake about her
body is her belly-button piercing and the tattoo she has on the
inside of her left wrist.
While
her best friend may be her dog Vida (Life in Portuguese), she has
been romantically linked to male model Scott Barnhill, billionaire
Joao-Paulo Diniz and actor Josh Hartnett. Gisele is currently dating
Leonardo DiCaprio.
Will
this supermodel consider a film career? Although she does think
that it would be interesting, she turned down a role in the movie
Charlie's Angels.
She definitely
does not need the extra money; currently earning $7,000 an hour
and $5 million a year, Gisele has redefined the term supermodel
and for now, enjoying her reign as the most beautiful girl in the
world should be enough.
