TRAVEL : I probably get on a plane every three or four days. It’s a lot of flying, but I guess that’s what being a global model is. I think if I stopped travelling now I would miss it a lot — I love seeing different parts of the world. That being said, I hate plane-hopping and the airport, and you do get sick of living out of a suitcase or not being able to just meet a friend for dinner. I’m often just in hotels by myself.

I’m still figuring out how to deal with jet lag. Normally, I’m not in one place long enough to actually get in sync with a time zone, so I try to sleep when I’m [lying] flat and on a plane, keep super hydrated and not stress too much when I can’t sleep at night — I just have a hell of a lot of coffee the next day.

FITNESS : I really enjoy working out, so it’s not too much of a chore for me and it gives me a bit of structure. I have a trainer [Joe Holder] in New York, who I see as much as I can. He takes a holistic approach — he really cares about my mental health, proper stretching and warm-ups and can deal with any kind of physio issues, so he’s not just a gym junkie telling a girl to do 10 squats and build an arse. Depending on what shoots are coming up and what I want to do for my body, sometimes we’ll increase the cardio. He’s taken me for runs before, but I mostly do weight training with him and resistance work.
