Alessandra Ambrosio Says She Would Do a Playboy Spread; `Brazil Is A Sexual Country’; Opens Up on Feminism, Breast Feeding and How She’ll Never Go Under the Knife Again

Alessandra Ambrosio says she would pose for Playboy, if the shoot were artistic. The Victoria's Secret Angel model also said she would never go under the knife again. Alessandra Ambrosio says she had a procedure when she was 11.

In a recent interview, Alessandra also talked about baby weight, feminism and breast feeding. She also talked about posing for Playboy. Ambrosio said "I would have to discuss it with my family and make sure it was artistic. Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour did it and they made me want to model. It's funny how casual you become about [your breasts] after children. I mean, you breast-feed in front of your parents. ... Still after two kids, they're not the same. I'm afraid of having them done, though. There's too much of that in L.A."

Alessandra says a Playboy shoot wouldn't be frowned on in her country. Ambrosio said"Brazil is a very sexual country. Women are always showing their boobs and butts on the beach. And I've been careful: Even if I did Playboy, I wouldn't want to do something that looks vulgar."

Talking to Net-a-Porter's The Edit, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show model and one of the most beautiful female celebrities Alessandra Ambrosio said she is at the end of a great year. Ambrosio said "I feel like my job is to be this beautiful girl who sells clothes. And there are good things about this career: You're inspiring people, making them feel good about themselves. Clothes are something that elevate every woman's mood."

Alessandra says she is "a little bit" of a feminist because she came "from a family where women are very strong. They rule the house and I'm the same."

Alessandra says she plans to follow in the footsteps of Victoria's Secret Angels Gisele Bundchen and Miranda Kerr and launching her own brand called Alé by Alessandra that will include clothing, fragrance and accessories. Ambrosio says "Hopefully, one day I'll have an empire. When I started modeling at 15, after modeling school, I thought it would all be over for me by 19, but that's just not the case anymore."

Ambrosio said she gained 60 pounds when she was pregnant with her daughter Anja. She said she went to a weight trainer six times a week. She also had calorie-controlled meals delivered. She says "It was 1,500 calories a day as I was breastfeeding."

The Brazilian beauty said she struggled to lose the weight she gained when she was pregnant. Ambrosio says "I knew that I had the show to do after having [Anja] -- and actually I was expecting my body to go back quicker. People kept telling me that I would bounce back straight away, but a week after giving birth I still had that balloon belly. It was the first time in my life that I had to diet."

Ambrosio said she never wants to have plastic surgery again after suffering through a botched procedure when she was 11 years old. She said "I always knew I wanted to be a model so I decided to have my ears pinned back, because they stuck out a bit. I found this doctor in my hometown [of Erechim] in Brazil who had only done it once before, so I was a guinea pig. The first few nights, it felt like someone had cut off my ears. For a year, I had to go back for mini-surgeries. Doctors say they can fix them, but cosmetic surgery freaks me out now."

Alessandra became a Victoria's Secret Angel at age 22. Ambrosio has been engaged to businessman Jamie Mazur since 2008. She is the mother of two children, Anja, 5, and Noah, 19 months.
