Gigi Hadid’s ‘Huge’ Thighs & Butt almost Derailed Her Modeling Career: ‘I Had

The model had an athletic body thanks to years of volleyball practices.

“I love a couple of cheeseburgers a week”, Hadid said. Yolanda Foster’s 20-year-old daughter revealed to Daily Mail Australia she used to cry to her mother after agencies told her she needed to be thinner. “People were like, ‘Oh so we can have a girl with like thighs and a butt in a Tom Ford campaign, cool.'” Hadid says she refused to change her body because she hopes to be a role model for young girls.

As if specifically trying to prove me right, Gigi strolled around in Sydney this past weekend wearing sweatpants and high heels like it was no big deal at all, she just rolled out of bed and threw on a pile of perfection as she always does.

After making a splash in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Hadid quickly became a household name. “And then all of a sudden the high fashion people wanted to work with me and that’s kind of how it works”.

“My thighs were huge, they were like rock!” she told the Daily Mail.

Hadid now understands that the goal is to accept your body and “embrace what you have”.

Clearly Gigi just isn’t the sort to spill red wine down herself, there’s no way we could ever actually wear this out and still look pristine come home time!

“Once I started modeling, one of my things was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t need to be a man volleyball player but I also don’t want to be like two pounds soaking wet, ‘” Hadid admits, with sister Bella Hadid adding, “And that’s always been something that I was very strong minded about”.
