Bündchen, who’s appeared on 2,000 magazine covers (a true statistic!) over the span of her impressive career, told Vogue earlier this year that she still doesn’t consider herself to be a model.
“I’m not a model,” she said. “Modeling is a job that I do, a career that I’ve had. It allowed me to see the world, and I was well paid for it. But it never defined me.”

She regarded each job during her heyday as just that — a job. “I’m a Cancer, the little crab. Loves the home, her sanctuary, all the cozy things. So I was a fish out of water in fashion. I was always like, ‘Let me go to the job and go home.’”
