| A When Cosmo cover girl
Laetitia Casta was discovered four years ago, she never imagined that
gracing the covers of major magazines and appearing in ad campaigns for
Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Victoria's Secret, and Guess? would be her ticket to
the movies. The 20-year-old French beauty is taking her talents to the big
screen in a film that recently wrapped shooting in Paris, Asterix et
Obelix, due out in the U.S. next year. The most exciting part: "I got
to work next to Gerard Depardieu!" Q&A with Laetitia: List your five absolutely favorite clothing items ? My jeans with a rip under the bum (you should wear jeans and a t-shirt as confidently as you wear a designer suit); striped Capri pants; and yellow 60's flowering dress; and extra large cashmere sweater; and pink socks with little pigs on them. How do you stay in shape? I like to ride horses and take long walks. I'm not the type to slave away at the gym. I like that I have curves. Do you have any French beauty secrets ? I laugh as hard as I can for 15 minutes every day. Having a lust for life makes you beautiful. What's the hardest thing about being a model ? Being true to yourself. Its easy to get wrapped up in the business and lose your values. Are men intimidated by you? On the contrary, I'm the one who's shy and intimidated. What's the best advice anyone ever gave you? That all people are equal. When someone makes me nervous, I imagine them on the toilet, and then I feel much more self assured. How do you relax? I listen to loud music and dance wildly in front of my mirror. |
