Gisele Bundchen, 43, admits that overwhelming stress during her modeling career led her to fantasize about ‘jumping out the window’ in a new candid interview
Gisele Bundchen opened up about the overwhelming stress she faced during her modeling career, which at one point led her to fantasize about “jumping out the window.”
The Brazilian-born beauty, 43, who recently revealed she was “just surviving” before divorcing Tom Brady, opened up about the emotional subject in a clip from her upcoming interview with Lee Cowan for CBS News Sunday morning.
The mother of two began her professional modeling career at New York Fashion Week in 1996, when she was just 16 years old.
However, Bundchen expressed the hardships she faced in the past while working in the industry. “You know, I was in tunnels. I couldn’t breathe. And then I started working in studios, and I felt like I was suffocating.”
Gisele recalled, “I lived on the ninth floor and I had to take the stairs because I was afraid I would be stuck in the elevator and start hyperventilating…”
“You know, when you can’t breathe, even with the windows open, you feel like, I don’t want to live like this, you know what I mean?”
