Bündchen recalls, “I went to do this casting for Alexander McQueen and there were girls around the block. There were like a thousand girls. It was the craziest thing. And he was just sitting on this couch and he would just go and say, walk. And he would put you in these impossible shoes.”
The 41-year-old model shared her craziest experience while doing the casting for McQueen. During the casting, there were thousands of girls and Bündchen had to walk the ramp in those impossible shoes. She reveals how she was not able to figure out what type of dress she was wearing. She was confused about whether it was a T-shirt or something else.
Also, while walking the whole time she was constantly thinking about her father and how he should never see these pictures. She wanted to leave the show, but at the same time, she thinks that the initial struggle is what made her stronger and more successful.
