There is a degree of role-playing in modeling, for sure, and you're also in a high-profile job - there are lots of similarities for sure.

I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling. Lily Cole admitadvertisecomplex Change image and share on social
