Gisele Bndchen is exploring a world beyond modeling as she enters a new chapter of her life.

The former Victorias Secret Angel who has been one of the highest-paid models of all time wants to do things that I believe are an extension of me, she told Vanity Fair in a cover story published on Wednesday.

Being a model is not really an extension of me... Its being an actress in a silent movie, she said.

I dont want to be a character in anybody elses movie, Bndchen continued. And when I do that, it doesnt feel as comfortable for me anymore.

While the 42-year-old still occasionally models she recently graced the March 2023 cover of Vogue Italia she hasnt walked a runway since 2015.

Bndchen previously spoke with Elle about seemingly putting her aspirations on the back burner for some time to focus on her ex-husband Tom Bradys football career.
