Victoria's Secret Angel, Candice Swanepoel sizzles on the cover
of British GQ May 2012 as she poses seductively wearing nothing but
sexy lingerie for the camera lens of acclaimed photographer Terry
Richardson. The South African bombshell looks divine with her
flawless looking skin and perfectly sculpted silhouette, so no
wonder that she makes jaws drop with every appearance. Between
modelling gigs and photoshoots, Ms. Swanepoel found the time to sit
down for a chat with GQ UK, where she gushed on her home town,
being teased in school for her looks as well as the secret to her
successful career, so check out highlights of Candice's interview
with GQ to find out more about the South African goddess.
Before she was discovered by a model scout at the age 15 and moving
to pursue a modelling career, Candice Swanepoel recalls that she
grew up in a lovely environment and loved her home town. She tells
GQ UK that:
“It was such a pure, beautiful way to grow up. I used to wear
overalls. And big boots, and poke cow poo, and helped the cows give
birth. It was a really amazing playground.”
Now she's all grown-up, she's considered one of the sexiest
women in the world, walks for Victoria's
Secret, the world's most watched fashion show and she is
one of the highest paid models in the industry. But things weren't
always this dreamy, as apparently Candice was teased when she was
growing up for her physical appearance. If people only knew then
she would grow up to be an internationally renowned model, things
would have probably been different, but Candice got her revenge as
she says:
“A year before I got scouted [Candice was discovered aged 15 at a
flea market in 2003], I would watch a lot of Fashion TV. At school
I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the
girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mom, the girls
at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV. A year
later, someone took me to an agency and that's it. Revenge is
always... [Laughs] I know it sounds terrible, but it does feel good
to show those people.”
The road to success wasn't all paved with diamonds as Candice
remembers that it took a lot of work to get where she is now. The
secret to her successful modelling career was work, work and more
work as she shares with the magazine that:
“I put all my eggs in one basket when I left South Africa. I put my
head down and worked my a%$ off. And look where it got me.”
