Heidi Klum: I'm too round for the catwalk

Model wouldn't starve herself for fashion

Supermodel, mother of three and entrepreneur Heidi Klum says she has never looked right on the catwalk.

'I have always been too round for fashion shows,' she says. 'I don't look weird enough for them to want me on the catwalk and that's fine.

'The other girls are always much taller and skinnier, so it just isn't my thing. I stick to what I'm good at and have never been prepared to starve myself to death and do crazy stuff just to be like a thin rail, and fit into their clothes.'

But the 33-year-old face of Victoria's Secret doesn't whole-heartedly blame the industry for the size 0 phenomenon.

'They make the rules and ultimately book these skinny girls,' she tells The Sunday Review. 'On the other hand, I have worked with so many girls in the past who eat like crazy and do not throw up.

'Some people are born skinny and that's just the way it is.'
