Irina Shayk: They Told Me I Was "Too Sexy So Many Times in My Life"

She found success, but struggled to transition between “sexy” and high fashion, back when more of a gulf existed between the two. “They put a label on you: ‘She’s Sports Illustrated, she’s too sexy.’ I heard so many times in my life, ‘She’s never going to work with Steven Meisel. She’s not a Burberry girl,’” recalls Shayk, who went on to shoot with Meisel and appear in campaigns for Burberry.

The modest model also likes to eat and stay home with Netflix. She's just like us!

[quote]Off set, she maintains, “I’m not a fashion person. I’m a regular girl who is home watching Netflix.”

She is so cool

This gal sure likes the humble brag

The whole article is one cliche after the other. "When I'm with my daughter, I'm 100% mom! I grew up in a world of hardship and suffering! I don't pay attention to all the press I get!"

Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) based bits of his vain Russian characters in "Eurovision Song Contest..." on Shayk.

For Lemtov's personality, though, he brought experience of a more personal encounter: Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, whom he once met at a party in Manhattan and says had a "very interesting attitude to the world."

As he describes, she asked him where he lived, and he responded: Brooklyn.

"And she said [Russian accent] 'Brook-lyn. Too far.' And then I said, 'Well, where do you live?' and she went [Russian accent] 'West Village. Best place.'" Stevens says. "And there’s a certain kind of snobbery that comes with a certain level of wealth, and how that—particularly European—money set, how that warps your taste and attitude."

I heard all that in Melania's voice.

I can certainly see why she's a model, but looks like she'd be unpleasant to be around. Zero charisma.

Irina Shit Shack

So instead of modeling she went into the bearding business for Cristian Renaldo and Bradley Cooper.

Did she mention THAT?

Another "supermodel" (remember when that actually meant something?) with an insanely inflated sense of her own fame and recognizability. She's like Emily Ratcatcher (whatever-her-name-is). Just another famewhore.

And yes, Shayk is a notorious beard-for-hire. I would ask Bradley Cooper how much good his "relationship" with her actually did his career in the long run. They have a daughter together.

I can relate.

Irina is announcing that she back in business and will consider any and all bearding opportunities, and would perhaps even settle for a hideous looking billionaire.

A girl’s gotta eat, so let’s bring out the meat!

Too sexy? In what alternate universe?

This so-called 'model' is so unattractive. Wonder how she started modeling. Who did she fuck?

Those ugly fake swollen lips are such turn-off. I remember when models were natural beauties. It seems every sort of plastic surgery, fillers and other procedures are now totally acceptable in modeling. What a joke.

That fug Bella Hadid has a totally altered face, that's not what modeling was ever about.

Next stop: Lewis Hamilton

She was "Too Much Woman" for Bradley Cooper to endure.

I agree Irina - “West Village. Best Place.” No need for explanations - or verbs.

Dan Stevens sounds insecure - she didn’t refer to wealth, she referred to distance. Brooklyn has prices equal to downtown Manhattan now. It’s all grossly expensive. But the West Village Best Place.

I read that she sometimes yachts.

This reminds me of when Jessica Biel announced that she was too beautiful for Hollywood.
