‘It was really nerve-racking’: Bella Hadid looks back on modelling career

During her interview with Vogue, Bella Hadid opened up about struggles she faced at the start of her modelling career.

The 24-year-old shared, "It's like there were two Bellas — me, this person in the process of figuring out who she was, and 'Bella Hadid' the alter ego, who was, I dunno, a [expletive] who goes out every night?"

The supermodel continued, "I have insane social anxiety! Partying is not my thing, but I felt enormous pressure to project that image because I assumed that's all people wanted from me.”

She added, "Now I don't want to live in that box. I definitely feel like I'm allowed to speak.”

Hadid even talked about how she was compared with sister Gigi Hadid, she said, "I would literally start crying and shaking if I had to do interviews at red carpet events. It was really nerve-racking and it's scary.”
