Behati Prinsloo on Being a Teen Model: ‘There’s No One That Looks After Us’
On set at a Victoria’s Secret PINK shoot in Miami a few weeks ago, model Behati Prinsloo seemed perfectly happy and at ease in front of the camera and amongst the crew and hair and makeup team, who Prinsloo calls “my family.” But the 22-year-old model says working in the industry hasn’t always been easy.
“You’re sixteen and thrown into this world of adults, and you have to be an adult,” Behati, who was discovered at age 15, told us. “You have to deal with everything, you have to deal with your money and with rejection. You grow up really quick. It’s very stressful, it’s a lot of traveling, a lot of time away from family, a lot of dealing with stuff you shouldn’t be dealing with at that age.”
