Gisele Bunchen is featured in the upcoming issue of GQ Magazine. In the interview Gisele talks about her life as a model and asked about her love life including current boyfriend Tom Brady. GQ asked some great questions in the full story but the answers were kind of disappointing. Gisele comes off to me as joyless and very guarded and defensive. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:
On her modeling career and it’s trappings: Look, I know who I am, and I know where I come from. I think there is danger obviously when you⿿re really young and they make you all glamorous and you start thinking you are that. I have been here for a while, and I do see girls. You⿿re playing a role. The important thing for me that helped save me is that I never believed This is exactly how I would describe my work: I get there, I put on the clothes, I leave it on the hanger, and I go home. And that⿿s what I do.
Asked about previous comments she made about never crossing paths with women in her industry who has an eating disorder:
“Not that I⿿ve seen. I don⿿t think it⿿s something that people go around talking about. I do think what saved me is that I⿿ve been very athletic since I was very young. I think your body has muscle memory.”
On Forbes report of making $35 million last year: “Look, this is my job. I take pictures. There is no big deal,” she said. “I would like to know who this reporter is finding out all of these amounts. And I would like him to talk to my accountant and figure out where is the cash that⿿s missing. Because I haven’t seen it.”
On whether any man has ever turned her down: “I meet someone and date him for a long period,” she added. “I don’t sit there thinking, like, ‘I wonder if I can seduce that guy.’ I have other things in my mind. It⿿s funny, I don⿿t even know how I meet those guys. It kinda happens.
On the various rumors about her: “People are unbelievable. The other day a girl on my plane was pulling my hair. She was like, ⿿I just want to check if⿿⿿ This is all my hair, by the way. I did not have extensions, let me tell you.”
On her breakup with Leo DiCaprio, and the rumor she was so despondent that she cut off all your hair?
Oh, my God. That⿿s ridiculous.
On meeting boyfriend Tom Brady (she was originally shown a photo of him in 2005 and asked what she thought:
⿿Tom Brady, definitely not too shabby. He⿿s cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he⿿s gay to me.
We met through a friend who knew us both for a long time. Believe me, I didn⿿t even remember [the picture of Brady]. Our friend knew that we would like each other. And we did. So I guess he was right.
More on her boyfriend Tom Brady:
I think we have a lot of things in common, and I think he is a really great person. He really, genuinely doesn⿿t have a bad bone in his body. And he is a very positive person.
