In the Age of the Gods, G God Gisele Bundchen's nearly perfect figure and steady steps circled the thoughts of countless people
"Grandniang" ended the "heroin fashion" led by Kate Moss , opening a new era of its own!
Even if we announce our withdrawal from the runway, Niangniang's influence is still strong. She has been ranked first in Forbes for 15 consecutive years and has been on the list of models for the first time
Most of the time we see her through the screen, with her exquisite makeup, decent behavior, and a perfect angel-like presence.
Now that we are retreating behind the scenes, G God publishes a new book: "Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life"
The book sincerely records many undisclosed past events and thoughts, and also the darkest moments of life such as suicide, breast augmentation sequelae, and almost divorce.
Success is attributed to his personality
Since 2002, Gisele Bundchen has been ranked as the world's highest-paid model for 15 consecutive years.
180cm tall and the beauty of a genius, outsiders naturally think God is a reward for food, but in an interview with Charlie Rose, her answer to the most important factor in such a successful career is "personality" !
Bangchen admitted that she has devoted a lot of concentration, hard work, and persistence to . For her, the past 20 years of her career, it has grown to be like she has lived a lifetime, but when she looks back, success is still because she wants to do her best in everything.

1980 was born in an ordinary German family in a small town in southern Brazil. He grew to 180cm at the age of 13. The genes of long legs have begun to become prominent~
my mother discovered early and sent the 14-year-old Bangchen to a model training school. Among a group of tall girls, Bangchen is not popular, his facial features and figure have not yet grown, and he is disliked that his nose is too big or his eyes are too small.
Although Gisele Bunchen is an ugly duckling among these classmates, she is the most promising star of tomorrow in the eyes of scout Dilson Stein.
1994 Gisele Bundchen participated in her first model beauty pageant in Brazil; he just went to New York before 1996 to start his brilliant modeling career;

But 5 years later, he has become the cover girl of top magazines, and is still the model with the most fashion covers in the world.
As she herself said
"If I promise something and someone trusts me, then I don't want to disappoint anyone." "I am the kind of person who must be the best within my ability. If I can't do 100%, I won't do it."
On the other hand, in my opinion, she is a very obedient model. This kind of obedience refers to dedicated . At that time, Bangchen appeared in the modeling circle with the most correct attitude. She was very willing to perform according to the needs of the camera and separate herself in front of the camera from her life.

is not so anxious to express personality, unlike young people today. This allows any idea to be presented with the best results in her.

The most important turning point in her life was in 2000. " Victoria's Secret " spent a record-breaking $25 million to sign her as an exclusive model, serving as the royal angel of "Victoria's Secret" for five consecutive years and put the two most expensive pairs of Fantasy in the history of the Victoria's Secret show. Bar was handed over to Giselle to show it~
Regarding this contract, she recalled that she had also discussed it carefully with the agent at that time. In fact, this is a very difficult choice. After all, it is very likely that signing this contract means that the transformation of the modeling career will likely lose the opportunity to be on the cover of top magazines again.
A better opportunity is here, be brave enough to seize it! When Bangchen signed this $25 million contract, he was 20 years old!
That year, Bangchen wore ruby underwear worth US$15 million, inlaid with more than 300 carats and more than 1,300 Thai Ruby . It is also the most expensive bra in Victoria's Secret history and broke the Guinness record. Then Bangchen shined in Victoria's Secret!
Such a perfect Bangchen actually needs breast augmentation?
Bongchen's most prominent stroke in fashion history should be the woman who is called by the media the terminator of deformed beauty and the woman who makes fashion return to the curve.
To this day, there are strict designers like Hedi Slimane, who have a size 0 figure in the fashion industry. In the early years, when Bonchen just started working as a model, skeleton models were popular, and pathological thinness and paleness were the favorites of the catwalk. On the McQueen's spring and summer show in 1998, Bangchen's full breasts were amazed and aroused widespread discussion around the world, making people begin to realize another healthier aesthetic and change their aesthetics and trends.

Bangchen's praise for "Brazil's No. 1 beautiful breasts" came because of this. Victoria's Secret's US$25 million contract has a lot to do with it, and Bangchen's burden also came because of this.

No matter how strict and detailed body management is, a woman's body will not change at all. Bangchen encountered many mothers' same problems.
In an interview with People, Bangchen said that after giving birth to two children, because he wanted to insist on breastfeeding, his breasts not only shrunk a little bit than before, but also became asymmetric.

This is a very painful period for her. She finds it difficult for her to accept her physical condition and some interference from external sounds caused by this. She recalled:
"I became very fragile. I could exercise and I could eat very well. I just hope that my breasts could become even on both sides, and no one else would point fingers at it anymore."
This photo should have been seen by many people. Bangchen breastfeeding and putting on makeup at the same time, looking like her former god posture, calm and relaxed, without the panic and collapse of an ordinary mother, but just like what she said, "No matter how perfect things are from the outside, you can't know what the truth is."
Bangchen went for breast augmentation surgery and chose to use this method to restore her figure.
The changes that plastic surgery often bring to the body may be beautiful, but it can easily put a layer of haze on the psychology. After the operation, Bangchen immediately regretted it, "I feel so uncomfortable. In the first year of the operation, I always wore loose clothes."
For the unfamiliar self after breast augmentation, Bangchen spent a long time to re-accept it. Fortunately, she was accompanied and encouraged by her husband Brady.
People who can earn 450,000 US dollars per meter walk have even thought about committing suicide!
Yes, it is really hard to imagine that the word "suicide" will appear in Gisele Bundchen's life memoir.
Our usual impression of her: confident and powerful! Her life path is like the gods descending to earth at the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics, taking every step with confidence.

You must be hard to believe that Bundchen suffers from a "panic disorder", an anxiety-type psychofunctional disorder. It sounds like a symptom that only the male protagonist of a Korean drama can have, but it has caused great pain to Bangchen.
In 2003, during a flight, Bangchen encountered a bumpy airflow, and thus suffered from claustrophobia towards tunnels, elevators, planes, etc.
"At that time, my career had developed quite well and was friendly and close to my family. I always believed that I was an optimistic and positive person, so I kept blaming myself for how I felt that I felt that I was not allowed to have any negative emotions."
Bangchen, who has been through the world for a long time, is more sensitive to everything than ordinary people.
"I feel helpless. When your world keeps shrinking, that feeling is very suffocating. That is the worst feeling I have ever had in my life."
"It seems that everything has become a cage. I am the animal in the trapped cage, unable to breathe and beg for the air. I can't find a way out, and I can't continue to endure even if I have more than one more day. So that thought came, if I jumped, everything would be much easier and everything would be over. I could get rid of these fears completely. Now I think back to that period, when I was 23 years old, I couldn't help but cry. I wanted to tell her that everything would be fine, and she had not started her true life. "Her
After that, Bangchen began to receive treatment, and the doctor prescribed her alprazolam tablets, but she decided not to rely on the medicine and quit smoking and drinking!
Start changing your lifestyle at the advice of your doctor.
For example, using yoga and meditation to relieve stress, she said: "When I started meditating, I began to look at life from a completely different perspective." After
2003, she also slowed down her career, deliberately reduced endorsements and catwalks, and spent more time devoted herself to charity and helping women and children in poor areas in Africa. But now we know that she suffered such great mental pain during that period.
Now, Bangchen is often on the Ins, photos of himself exercising and being with his family. You can feel her health and happiness through the screen!
"No matter how perfect things are, you can't know what the truth is."
Whether it is a beloved relative or a stranger, be more tolerance and love. No matter what you are experiencing now, give yourself more strength to persevere and resist. Learn to face it positively. Everyone will experience misfortune. I hope you are the one who comes out!
