Congrats on winning Maxim's Hot 100 List title, which was announced today.
Thank you. It’s been exciting.
It's your first ever win and it looks like your career has really gone into overdrive, hey?
Eight months ago I did my first Victoria’s Secret commercial. Then the Victoria’s Secret fashion show this year and now my first
SI cover. In America, it’s one of the biggest things a model can do so I’m pretty honoured.
You shoot in some amazing tropical playgrounds – is there any time for cocktails with little umbrellas?
There is. Everyone thinks because Sports Illustrated is such a big deal it’s this high-stress environment but it’s really not. A lot of times the best shots are when the photographer is like, “Let’s just go for a walk,” and it will just be him and I. It’s a long day but I wouldn’t say it’s a stressful day. It’s fun, too.
You’ve done a lot of nude-in-bodypaint shots in SI – do you get sick of getting paint out of strange places?
You’re in for a long day but it’s such a unique thing to do. You really are a canvas, and as much as there’s the appeal that you’re nude and all that, it really is some genius artwork that goes into it.
