If you hate having your picture taken,you8217;re in good company 8211; British supermodel Kate Moss does as well.
I8217;m terrible at a snapshot. Terrible. I blink all the time. I8217;ve got facial Tourette8217;s,she told Vanity Fair in the December issue,out on Wednesday.
Moss,who has graced countless magazine covers and was emblematic of the waif look popular in the 1990s,added Unless I8217;m working and in that zone,I8217;m not very good at pictures.
Moss,38,opened up about her years spent before the camera,including now-legendary shoots that left her anxious,demoralized,and hungry.
Among her regrets is a 1992 Calvin Klein session that helped launched Moss8217; career.
She recalled the shoot,at age 17 or 18,with Mark Wahlberg then going by his rapper name,Marky Mark and photographer Herb Ritts.
I had a nervous breakdown,she said. It the job didn8217;t feel like me at all. I felt really bad about straddling this buff guy. I didn8217;t like it. I couldn8217;t get out of bed for two weeks. I thought I was going to die.
It was just anxiety,she added. Nobody takes care of you mentally. There8217;s a massive pressure to do what you have to do and I was really little 8230; I didn8217;t like it. But it was work,and I had to do it.
When she was even younger,she posed nude for The Face 8211; another regret.
I see a 16-year-old now,and to ask her to take her clothes off would feel really weird. But they were like,8217;If you don8217;t do it,then we8217;re not going to book you again.8217; So I8217;d lock myself in the toilet and cry and then come out and do it.
Moss,who became associated with the heroin chic look after her early shoots,said I had never even taken heroin 8211; it was nothing to do with me at all.
I was thin,she conceded. But that8217;s because I was doing shows,working really hard 8230; You8217;d get home from work and there was no food. You8217;d get to work in the morning,there was no food 8230; You don8217;t get fed.
Moss has kind words for her time with Johnny Depp in the mid-1990s,when she said she felt taken care of. After their break-up in 1998,I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust. Nightmare. Years and years of crying.
Now,she says,her years of partying and high living have ebbed. She married guitarist Jamie Hince in 2011 after a four-year romance. I don8217;t really go to clubs anymore. I8217;m actually quite settled.
Living in Highgate in London with my dog and my husband and my daughter! I8217;m not a hell-raiser.
Still,she added,Don8217;t burst the bubble. Behind closed doors,for sure I8217;m a hell-raiser.
