Model Heidi Klum is many things – supermodel, Project Runway host and executive producer, entrepreneur and a mother of four, according to Daily Mail. The 41-year-old models lingerie and swimwear better than anyone half her age. So, it is no surprise that Klum would attract jealous stares from public on the street or at school when she goes to pick up her children.

In a recent interview, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel talked about motherhood, building confidence and her modelling preferences. Klum has a daughter Leni with former beau Flavio Briatore, and sons Henry and Johan, and daughter Lou with her ex-husband of almost seven-years Seal. When asked whether the paparazzi made it tough for her and her four children, Klum admitted that her children were immune to the shutterbugs and that “it’s mainly other mums and kids that give [her] the stink eye a little bit.”

After having been part of the fashion industry since 1997, the German model said she particularly enjoys lingerie modelling. “‘I’ve been a lingerie model for many, many years and I’ve had so much fun shooting lingerie, being in front of the camera, doing the runway for lingerie... I’ve honestly always preferred that,” she stated.

Klum recently became the creative director and ad campaign model for Bendon intimates and visited Australia to launch the line. She said she wasn’t afraid to pay tribute to the Australian icon Elle Macpherson, who first fronted Bendon’s intimates range. “I was really excited to launch in Australia because it was known in the country. This is where it all began,” Heidi shared. “Elle had been doing the line for 25 years and I was excited that I was asked to take over the reins and march along with it,” she added. Acknowledging that she had big shoes to fill, she commented, “25 years [since Elle did the line] is a huge success story.,”
