Gisele Bundchen is today one of the richest, most sought after and famous supermodels. Where did this sexy Brazilian woman with long legs, mouth-watering shapes, sensual pink lips and wonderful blue eyes come from? Has she 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 Gisele Bundchen
The biography of the Brazilian supermodel is the embodiment of many girlish dreams, and the tale begins from childhood.
As far back as the 19th century, Giselle's ancestors were forced to emigrate from Germany. They settled in Brazil, where Gisele Carolyn Nonnemacher Bündchen was born on July 20, 1980. The small homeland 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, Raphael, Patricia and Gabriela. Relationships with girls since childhood are very warm and friendly. The Bundchen sisters all, as one, beauties and also work in the world of fashion and the catwalk. But no one was able to achieve the same success as Giselle. Her twin sister Patricia starred in only a few commercials.
Girls recall that Giselle did not consider herself an extraordinary beauty at school. 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 school boys nicknamed her Oli (olive oil) for her height and thinness.
In school years, Bundchen did not dream of breaking into Brazilian models, she saw herself only in professional sports. The addition of her body and temperament went well with one of the most popular games in Brazil - volleyball. But fate decreed otherwise …
The meeting that changed life
Giselle and friends went to Sao Paulo. Young people decided to eat and went to the McDonald's. There a turning point happened, which changed everything … Fourteen-year-old Giselle rested at a table, ate her portion and chatted cheerfully with friends when a man approached them. The stranger introduced himself as an employee of a major modeling agency Elite Modeling. He handed Giselle a business card and insisted on a meeting.
The girl, far from the world of fashion and dreaming 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 clogging her head with stupid things about the catwalk and photo shoots. Thinking 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 in the fashion world would be Gisele Bundchen. Her biography, however, from this moment begins to replenish with victories, financial ups and a dizzying career.
Perhaps someone will have a question about why she so easily abandoned the dream of becoming a professional volleyball player. Firstly, this decision was not easy for her. Secondly, what girl does not dream of becoming a famous model. And thirdly, the amount proposed by the agency’s representative had the main influence on its decision (as in any large family, this issue was always acute).
Career
Why did Bundchen become the most popular and sought-after model so quickly? Maybe because she was very different from the bored images of that time. Maybe because before her, the fashion industry could not find the ideal that would inspire the masters and fascinate the public. Maybe because her natural beauty, temperament and inner freedom were that breath of air that the fashion world needed. Or maybe she was just born under a happy star. Whatever the reason, the result is obvious, 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 and 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 to participate in their shows, advertising campaigns.
The most authoritative publications of Vogu, Arena, Marie Claire and others dreamed of dedicating the covers of their magazines to her.
Seven years (from 2000 to 2007) Giselle was the angel of Victoria`s Secret. This is one of the most famous companies selling lingerie. The angels of the models of this company are called because of the unusual, beautiful wings with which they appear in every show. Brazilian models are one of the most sought after in the fashion industry, and it is often Brazilian women who become angels (Falavia De Oliveira, Isabelle Goulard, Isabeli Fontana, Caroline Trentini, etc.).
A beautiful, ambitious girl could not pass by such a direction as cinema. There are two films on her track record in which she played small roles: New York Taxi and Devil Wears Prada. Gisele did not intend to engage in the film business seriously, she only tried it out of curiosity.
Personal life
Gisele’s novel with cinema was as short-lived as a romance with one of the most popular actors Leonardo DiCaprio. The young people met for five years, but before the wedding, it never came. Many fans were upset that their relationship did not work out, they were a great couple. In 2004, People magazine was recognized as the most beautiful couple by DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen.
Despite its beauty and sex appeal, Giselle stands out for modesty and decency. The media has never been full of headlines about her turbulent or impetuous novels. She always keeps herself with dignity and pride, self-esteem in this beautiful Brazilian in blood.
A few years after the breakup with DiCaprio, the girl met her future husband.
A family
The tale in the life of Giselle continued, and the next chapter was an acquaintance with a loved one. Once, on the eve of Christmas, a well-known and wealthy model was visiting old friends. One of the friends invited her to meet a nice guy, besides the famous American football player Tom Brady (who was also invited).
Gisele recalls that when she first saw Tom, she could not stop looking at his charming smile and was constantly afraid that she would lose sight of him. Tom Brady admits that he never met such amazing eyes as his wife. They realized that they were made for each other, and they were lucky enough to experience love at first sight.
They met for two years before Brad proposed 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 cloudless in their life. 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 children.
Five years after the wedding, the star couple will look very happy. They do not stop dissolving in each other. According to Giselle, family, husband, home, children and their love are the most valuable things in her life.
If we talk about material values, it is worth noting that the couple Giselle and Brady are one of the most wealthy according to Forbers magazine.
