Model, actress and…champion equestrian?
There’s little Kate Upton can’t do.
However, that’s exactly the case.
“I knew nothing about fashion growing up, because in Florida you just wear bikinis and flip-flops.
That was the moment young Upton decided she wanted to be a model.
As a kid, she competed as an equestrian in various horse shows.
And Upton hasn’t forgotten where it all began.
She continues to vacation near Lake Michigan, where she has recently been spotted horseback riding.
Seriously, is there anything she can’t do?
Little did she know a break from work would end up being her claim to fame.
Once he posted on YouTube, the video went viral.
YouTube quickly removed the video, but then received upset feedback from viewers andposted it again.
It’s not like I’m a good dancer.
It’s just me.
It’s just what I do.”
I was so offended!
I’ve never been so offended!
I was like, ‘You know that you’re in America, right?’
And it wasn’t ‘American models’it was American women are lazy, period!
I feel like a lot of women would disagree with that."
Willing to risk her life for work
Upton doesn’t mess around.
To say it was an adventure was a complete understatement."
She continued to say, “It was freezing.
I’m from Florida, so it wasn’t great for me.”
We don’t think that’s easy for anyone and have to give Upton some serious props.
She’s all about doing good
Upton has used her fame and success for good.
In 2013 she teamed up withMovember.
And for guys, they grow ‘staches and go to the doctor."
Keep up the good work, Upton!
Defending her faith
Upton has been open with the media about her religious beliefs.
Like you would be religious.’
And then they took [my necklace] away…I was really affected by that.
And now she has one.
So how was the experience of her first big movie?
Upton only has positive things to say.She toldE!
Okay, can we be in a movie with them next?
She continued, saying, “There’s also a weird energy backstage it’s a little too aggressive.
I prefer a relaxed, happy environment.
So how is she in an industry that focuses on her looks?
She said, “Being on a fashion shoot is like an acting job.
I feel like I’m a different character, and that character doesn’t get pangs of anxiety.”
So I’m not going to let my insecurities stop me from enjoying life.”
We can all take notes from Upton.
She always looks happy and comfortable in any situation.
How does she do it?
Hint: as the phrase goes, “Mother knows best.
Upon has done just that with me, too.
