Gisele Bundchen today is one of the richest, most sought-after and famous supermodels. Where did this sexy Brazilian with long legs, delicious curves, sensual pink lips and wonderful blue eyes come from? Have you always wanted to be a star in the fashion industry? How was her personal life? And how does one of the most popular models live today?
Childhood of Gisele Bundchen
The biography of the Brazilian supermodel is the embodiment of many girlish dreams, and a fairy tale begins from childhood.
Back in the 19th century, Giselle's ancestors were forced to emigrate from Germany. They settled in Brazil, where Gisele Caroline Nonnemacher Bündchen was born on July 20, 1980. The small birthplace of the supermodel is the small Brazilian town of Horizontina.
Giselle is not the only child in the family, she has five sisters: Graziela, Raquel, Rafaela, Patricia and Gabriela. Relationships between girls from childhood are very warm and friendly. The Bundchen sisters are all as one, beauties and also work in the world of fashion and catwalk. But no one has been able to achieve the same success as Giselle. Her sister-twin Patricia has only appeared in a few commercials.
The girls remember that Giselle at school did not consider herself an extraordinary beauty. Then in a small Brazilian town there were slightly different standards, and a tall and skinny girl could not claim the title of beauty queen. According to Giselle, the guys at school called her Oli (olive oil) for her height and thinness.
During her school years, Bundchen did not dream of becoming a Brazilian model, she saw herself only in professional sports. Her physique and temperament matched perfectly with one of the most popular games in Brazil, volleyball. But fate decreed otherwise…
The meeting that changed lives
Giselle and her friends went to Sao Paulo. Young people decided to have a bite to eat and went to McDonald's. There was a turning point meeting that changed everything … Fourteen-year-old Giselle was relaxing at the table, eating her portion and chatting merrily with friends when a man approached them. The stranger introduced himself as an employee of a large modeling agency Elite Modeling. He handed Giselle a business card and insisted on a meeting.
A girl who was far from the world of fashion and dreamed of the glory of a volleyball player was forced to make a difficult decision. By the way, the father was categorically against his very young daughter filling her head with nonsense about the podium and photo shoots. Having thought well, the girl decides to go against her father and try her hand at modeling. Perhaps at that time she did not hope that once the most famous name inthe fashion world will be Gisele Bundchen. Her biography, however, from that moment begins to replenish with victories, financial ups and a dizzying career.
Perhaps someone will wonder why she gave up her dream of becoming a professional volleyball player so easily. Firstly, this decision was not easy for her. Secondly, what girl does not dream of becoming a famous model. And thirdly, the main influence on her decision was the amount proposed by the agency representative (as in any large family, this issue has always been acute).
Career
Why did Bundchen become the most popular and in-demand model so quickly? Maybe because it was very different from the boring images of that time. Maybe because before her, the fashion industry could not find the ideal that would inspire the masters and captivate the public. Maybe because her natural beauty, temperament and inner freedom were the breath of air that the fashion world needed. Or maybe she was just born under a lucky star. Whatever the cause, the result is clear, today one of the most famous models in the world is Gisele Bundchen.
The biography of the supermodel is replete with the names of the most famous advertising companies, glossy magazines, shows where Giselle worked.
Ralph Lauren, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino and other famous fashion houses were conquered by the Bundchen. They fell in love with her at first sight and sought to get her to participate in their shows, advertising campaigns.
Most authoritativepublications Vogu, Arena, Marie Claire and others dreamed of dedicating their magazine covers to her.
Seven years (from 2000 to 2007) Giselle was a Victoria`s Secret Angel. This is one of the most famous companies selling lingerie. Models of this company are called angels because of the unusual, beautiful wings with which they appear at every show. Brazilian models are among the most sought after in the fashion industry, and it is often Brazilians who become angels (Falavia De Oliveira, Isabelle Gular, Isabeli Fontana, Caroline Trentini, etc.).
A beautiful, ambitious girl could not pass by such a direction as cinema. Her track record includes two films in which she played small roles: New York Taxi and The Devil Wears Prada. Giselle was not going to seriously engage in the film business, she just tried it out of curiosity.
Private life
Giselle's romance with cinema was as short-lived as the romance with one of the most popular actors Leonardo DiCaprio. Young people met for five years, but the matter never came to the wedding. Many fans were upset that their relationship did not work out, they were a great couple. DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen were named the most beautiful couple in 2004 by People magazine.
Despite her beauty and sex appeal, Giselle stands out for her modesty and decency. The media has never been full of headlines about her stormy or impetuous novels. She always carries herself with dignity and pride, this beautiful Brazilian has self-respect in her blood.
After a fewyears after her breakup with DiCaprio, the girl met her future husband.
Family
The fairy tale in Giselle's life continued, and the next chapter was getting to know her beloved. Once, on the eve of Christmas, a well-known and we althy model was visiting old friends. One of her friends suggested that she meet a handsome guy, besides the famous American football player Tom Brady (who was also invited).
Giselle recalls that when she saw Tom for the first time, she could not stop admiring his charming smile and was always afraid that she would lose sight of him. Tom Brady admits that he has never met such amazing eyes as his wife. They realized that they were made for each other, and they were lucky to experience love at first sight.
They dated for two years before Brad proposed to Giselle. Today they have a son, Benjamin, and a little daughter, Vivian. By the way, Giselle gave birth to her first child at home in the bathroom under the supervision of her mother and sisters.
Of course, not everything was rosy in their lives. Even before the wedding, Tom's former passion, American actress Bridget Moynaham, announced that she was expecting a child from him. Brady recognized the child, and today he spends a lot of time in the family of his father, Giselle and their kids.
Five years after the wedding, the star couple looks very happy. They never cease to dissolve into each other. According to Giselle, family, husband, home, children and their love are the most valuable thing in her life.
If we talk about material values, it is worth noting that the couple Giselle and Brady -one of the we althiest according to Forbers magazine.
Kind soul Giselle
Bundchen is active in charitable work: auctioning his jewelry, signing autographs on auction gadgets, making donations, filming for special editions designed to attract public attention, and much more.
Giselle was able to bring great benefits to various hospitals, organizations and just people who find themselves in a difficult life situation.
Although she was criticized by conservationists when she wore fur-infused clothing at one of the shows.
There is a fairy tale, you just need to believe - this once again proves Gisele Bundchen. The biography of the Brazilian supermodel is filled with bright, magical events. I really want to believe that the continuation of the Brazilian girl's fairy tale will be just as magical.
