What are you really good at? I like to cook… especially pies and quiches and tarts! I also like to make ratatouille and veggie dishes. I like to put on music from my hometown and head into the kitchen – it’s so relaxing. As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a flight attendant. Then I used to love getting on a plane… now I’m a little scared of flying so I think I made the right decision. I also wanted to be an archeologist because I love to find things. What were you doing before modeling and do you miss it? Before I was studying at a music school for 7 years – I played piano. I definitely miss it since I’ve stopped. My mom has a piano at her house, I love to play it when I’m visiting home. I can’t have one here in Paris, or when I travel for work so it’s difficult. What’s one subject you could talk about for at least 5 minutes? My family. I can literally talk for hours about my family, my friends and the people close to me. I love sharing with the people close to me, and I can talk to them for hours. Especially my mom – we Skype for hours!!
