Perfection comes in so many forms.
Enter: Emily Ratajkowski.You might have trouble pronouncing her name out loud but who cares? You won't need to say it right to get through this article. She's actually pretty interesting!
1. People thought she was too controversial or something.
She ended up going topless in Robin Thicke's 2013 hit "Blurred Lines."
2. She wouldn't have gone out with you in high school.
AKA She was only 14 when Ford Models signed her. Her mom didn't want it initially, “My mom would snap back, ‘She’s going to be a brain surgeon'.”
3. You were probably perving out to her when you were young back when she guest appeared in two episodes of iCarlyas Gibby's girlfriend.
She played Tasha twice. Once in 2009 and 2010.
4. She was actually going to turn down being in the "Blurred Lines" music video.
She wasn't impressed by the video proposal and didn't see how it'd work out. But once she met the director she felt comfortable with taking the role.
5. She is probably a big fan of tea and crumpets. But she grew up in Encinitas, California, Bantry, Ireland and Majorca, Spain.
She was born in Westminster, London with her mom being an English professor and writer and her father being an art teacher.
6. She's a big fan of the Bernie Sanders revolution!
She even introduced him at a rally earlier this year. She was attacked for being a model and being a “mindless beauty.” Okay there, bud, she's amazing.
7. She's got diverse genes! As do we all.
She has Polish, English and Israeli ancestry.
8. She wrote a giant blog post about what it felt like being a teen with a woman's body.
She wrote a letter on Lenny Letter, Lena Dunham’s blog for women. She wrote about growing up being a “baby woman,” AKA developing at a younger age.
9. She ain't like regular models – she was born on social media.
She's up there with Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid who gained millions and millions of followers and shot right to the top.
10. Although she's a college dropout, she ain't stupid.
She studied fine arts at UCLA. Although she dropped out to become a full-time model, she claimed that the art world “insanely elitist and full of [cow dung].”
Emily, you so PERFECT.
11. You're probably saying her name wrong.
The "J" in her last name is silent.
12. She's comfortable with nudity because she grew up going to nude beaches in Europe.
She learned from her parents, who were quite liberal – with even her mother having no problem baring herself in public.
13. This is how she feels about nudity for a movie role:
“I’m not worried about nudity,” she has told the New York Times. “I’d rather play a complex character who has a love scene than a stupid girl who’s just a girl next door.”
The world loves you, Emily. You're one of the women we love.
COMMENT and tell us if you're comfortable being nude at beaches too!
