00:00Is there a difference in how the society receives it, beauty and aging?

00:05There's definitely a big difference, I think, societally-wise, what people think.

00:12Well, people believe that aging cannot include beauty, that beauty is somehow singular to youth.

00:20And I find that, I keep trying to separate the two, because I feel like when you're young,

00:27and yes, of course, you're beautiful in a very sort of shiny, obvious way, but to me, that's pretty.

00:32It's pretty. It attracts your attention. It's attractive.

00:37But beauty, real beauty, that's what we have, because that's the beauty of having lived,

00:43of wisdom, of having learned things, of knowing who we are, being confident.

00:51Being older is so much more beautiful than youth.

00:57So, we're just walking down the street, and my gaze falls upon this very brightly colored small poster.

01:13This one, right here.

01:17Maybe sidle up to that? Maybe sidle up to it?

01:21I don't think I look much like that anymore.

01:24This is me at, like, 15.

01:27Unbelievable.

01:29Weird.

01:33My bilateral hip replacement journey.

01:37Yep, I have to do both.

01:39This is right after surgery, and this is about two hours after surgery.

01:43Most painful part, poor Jeff, and my IV.

01:48This is about three hours after surgery.

01:52Had to get up and walk.

01:56Is my butt showing?

01:58No.

01:58And this is about three days after I got back home.

02:17Not bad, and much less painful.

02:19And this is about a week later after I came home.

02:28Six weeks later, I'm in Florida shooting for Sports Illustrated.

02:32Six months later, I'm on the road in Portugal biking for 30 miles a day.

02:38Nine months later, I am walking the runway for the first time in 40 years.

02:43And then, about 10 months later, I get to dance at my son's wedding.

02:53What a dream.

03:03A year later, signed with Estee Lauder.

03:07Leveled up to level 60.

03:09Thank you, Dr. Roy Davidovich, for making me regain my stride.

03:16I've been thinking about relationships a lot today.

03:19I think part of that is because my love is away and I miss him.

03:24And partly, it's friends that needed a shoulder to cry on.

03:29Having been through two relationships,

03:33in which my biggest fear, abandonment, came true in both,

03:37one very slowly, kind of like the boiling frog,

03:43and the other one, like a decapitation really,

03:49has made me ponder the courage,

03:54the strength that it takes to open yourself up again

03:57when you've been crushed.

04:01Somebody said to me, just the other day,

04:06commented on how brave I was

04:08for being so public about my new relationship.

04:14Brave or stupid?

04:18Possibly both.

04:20Possibly one or the other.

04:21But I thought about that and I thought,

04:26you know,

04:27being a fool,

04:29which is what I would be if

04:30this doesn't work out

04:32and, you know,

04:33I've been going on about how great my love life is.

04:37Well,

04:38being a fool is not fatal.

04:43Real courage

04:45is not

04:47whether or not you dare to be a fool.

04:50It's

04:52whether or not you dare

04:53to open yourself up

04:55to love again.

04:58That's where true courage lies.

05:02It's morning.

05:04I'm in the hotel room

05:05and I'm slightly bored.

05:06And so I thought,

05:08how about I post a video

05:09of myself

05:10the way I really look.

05:12Obviously, I'm a model.

05:13I know how to

05:14make things look good.

05:16I'm really good at thinking things.

05:18But I'm going to pick this one.

05:20Okay?

05:20This is what I really look like.

05:23Here I am.

05:27Never liked my thighs.

05:29My stomach

05:29looks good in this light,

05:31especially when you give it

05:32a little side light.

05:33Abs look great.

05:34But the truth is,

05:35look closer,

05:37relax the tummy,

05:39and yes,

05:39it's squishy.

05:40it's got that loose skin

05:43that a lot of us have

05:45after exploding out here

05:47with carrying children.

05:50I have cellulite,

05:52which is not,

05:54yeah,

05:54there it is,

05:55there it is,

05:55there it is.

05:56You can see it right there.

05:58I have scarves

05:59from my recent hip surgery,

06:01which actually look really great.

06:02I think the doctor

06:03did a phenomenal job,

06:04but yeah,

06:05there they are.

06:07So,

06:08I'm healthy,

06:10and I'm not perfect,
