Elle: On drugs, losing weight and choosing face or figure

ELLE meets Elle at a penthouse in central London. When we arrive she is busy doing one of the things she does best – modelling. She’s the face of Revlon’s latest launch Age Defying foundation with DNA Advantage, which is the reason we’re here. Looking as glamorous as ever in skinny black leather jeans, leopard print shirt and the fiercest studded Louboutins, annoyingly (and unsurprisingly) she’s every bit as glamorous in real life.

What do you do to stay healthy? Diet, detox, supplements…?

I eat organic, locally sourced food wherever possible. I don’t like to have chemicals in my body at all, so I don’t drink, smoke or take drugs, not even Aspirin. But not because I’m trying to look good, it’s because as I matured I realised what I put in my body really affects the way I feel.

You’re known as ‘The Body’, what do you do to keep fit?

Sport’s a big part of my life. At 13 I started to swim an hour everyday, I did it for fun and I raced. I’ve gone through phases where I’ve only worked with my trainer James Duigan, gone to Bikram yoga, run everyday, played tennis, surfed or snow skied or hiked. Basically, what I’ve found is that if I can commit to doing 45 minutes of movement per day I feel better. I’m spinning at the moment and I went through a surfing thing last year! The consistent thing in my life is my trainer, I’ll talk to him and get informed feedback, but the best feedback is the way I feel.

How do you fit it all in?
