- Heidi Klum is living her best life at 52, but admitted there’s one “weird” aging experience that she’s had to deal with.
- In an exclusive cover story interview with People published on Monday, July 28, the supermodel shared that gray hairs have sprouted up on some unexpected places on her body.
- Klum also told the publication, “I have no problem walking around in my underwear” as she opened up about her confident mindset.
Heidi Klum is only feeling sexier and more confident at 52—just take one look at her bikini-packed, PDA-filled summer with husband Tom Kaulitz—but aging has come with one undesirable side effect. In an exclusive cover story interview with People published on Monday, July 28, Klum candidly shared that gray hairs have sprouted up on some unexpected places on her body.
While the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit icon revealed that her experience with graying hadn’t impacted her famous blonde mane just yet, silver hairs had popped up in some other areas. “I have one in my eyebrow. It’s so weird,” she admitted, adding, “And I have one on this boob that is this long sometimes.”
Despite the body changes that have come with getting older, Klum said her confidence hasn’t wavered—especially with more societal acceptance around aging. “Now it’s okay to be older—but it didn’t use to be like that,” she explained, adding, “I feel like we’re more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we’ve changed and come all that way.”

Klum also pushed back on naysayers who criticize how much skin she shows in her many lingerie and bikini photos, explaining that getting undressed for the camera feels effortless after her multi-decade career in the modeling industry.

“I’ve been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram. So for me, it’s nothing new,” Klum said, adding, “For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I’ve been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I’m on Instagram. It’s the same thing.”

“People always say, ‘You probably got more confidence as you’ve gotten older,’ but I have always been confident,” she continued, revealing that she doesn’t have “this age-shaming or body-shaming” mindset. “I have no problem walking around in my underwear. I’m not hiding in a corner.”
