‘I’m giggling because a day without laughter is a day wasted’, explains the supermodel with a heart of gold, Petra Nemcova.
During this exclusive interview, Nemcova gives us an intimate insight into her sheltered upbringing, closed off by the iron curtain, living in the communist Czech Republic. ‘I didn’t know about Stevie Wonder until five years ago; I didn’t know about Audrey Hepburn. I missed out on all these incredible things.’
Re-education aside, Nemcova has probably now experienced more than most girls can ever dream of. The Czech beauty talks through her career and how she rocketed to success after doing her first cover for the well known title Sports Illustrated.
But not everything has been a high, and Nemcova opens up about surviving the tsunami on Boxing Day 2004 which caused her pelvis to break in four places. However, it also spurred her on to set up her Happy Hearts Fund which is a proven charitable success and helps children all across the world.
