March 22 2024, Published 12:38 p.m. ET
Gisele Bündchen recalled how she almost died during a scary photoshoot over 20 years ago.
“I did a photoshoot on a fake iceberg in Iceland, and I almost fell off into the ocean,” she said during the “True Confessions” segment on Jimmy Fallon's talk show.
The model, 43, said she almost fell into the freezing water, where she "would have been dead in seconds."
“So the whole thing I was supposed to be in this slip dress while everyone was like in a boat — like, all the crew was in a boat with like huge puffer jackets and life vests,” Bündchen, who participated in a campaign for Oxygene at the time, shared.
The model recalled the scary incident while promoting her new book.
The model was in New York City promoting her new book, which releases on March 26, and is full of healthy recipes.
“You know, I love food. Yes, I really enjoy food. And I had all the playdates were always at my house,” she told the late-night host, adding that her kids, Ben, 14, and Vivian, 11, whom she shares with ex Tom Brady, picked up healthy habits along the way.
Gisele Bündchen's new book focuses on healthy recipes.
“So, all the kids, you know, the moms would come back and be like, ‘How did you get my kid to eat vegetable?'” she noted. "I’m like ‘It’s so easy, just, like, roast them.’ She’s like, ‘How do you do that?’ I start sharing recipes with moms and, you know, I have five sisters, so we always share recipes as well.”
While on The View, the catwalk queen also explained how she overcame panic attacks and depression she faced in her 20s.
