After appearing in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for three years, Israeli Model Bar Refaeli has been given the honor of being the cover girl for the 2009 issue. The 23-year-old fashion model tells People exclusively how happy she is to be on the cover.
” I am so happy, I am ecstatic! I’m in heaven right now.”
It was my dream. When I was 15 and started modeling, my agent came to my house with Sports Illustrated magazines and taught me to look at the girls and the way they communicated with the camera. I learned from them.
Bar counts Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks as her favorite Sports Illustrated covers. And confesses to being inspired the most by Klum.
You can see she’s totally into her family, so into motherhood, and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. That’s inspiring. That would be something I’d love – to be able to have a family alongside an incredible career. I wish I could have that someday.
You too can take Bar Refaeli home with you. The new Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition hits newsstands today!
