While most people have their body hang-ups - that little something you'd change if you could - Brazilian top model Gisele Bundchen says there is "nothing" she doesn't like about herself. She reveals that when she first became a model, she received some criticism for her looks but she realized that it was just part of her character and she loves every part of herself now despite the harsh words:
''What do I like about my face? My freckles. What do I not like? Nothing. It's not pretentious, but I accept myself exactly how I am, with both my good and my bad points. When I started modeling, 12 years ago, people made comments that my nose was too much of this, too much of that. At the time, I talked about it with my dad who made me understand that it's part of my personality. Now, I'm comfortable with it: I'm no goddess, but I'm me. I'm comfortable with myself and I feel good.''
The Brazilian beauty also reveals that in her home country, there was a very different ideal of what was beautiful when she was growing up:
''I grew up in Brazil where the notion of beauty and seduction isn't the same as in Europe. For my mother, it consisted in creating a sense of harmony between body and soul. She therefore taught me to be comfortable with myself and to stay that way whatever happens.''
Gisele says she hardly ever looks in the mirror because she gets bored of her own appearance:
''To be honest, I hardly ever look in the mirror. My job consists of constantly seeing images of me and to be honest I sometimes get bored of it!''
