She’s the highest paid supermodel in the world and he’s one of the biggest film directors in the business. So, it’s no wonder when Gisele Bundchen and Baz Luhrmann get together, something magical happens.
The Great Gatsby director, who’s behind some of the most romantic movies of all time, including Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge, just released his second Chanel No. 5 short film for the famed French fashion house. The result is an insanely romantic declaration of love, starring the one and only Gisele Bundchen, reported US Magazine.
Speaking about working with the mother-of-two on the ad, Baz says, “I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has so much energy. She’s full-on about life, love, what she’s doing. She’s not just one-way conversation and she’s also fearless — anything I asked her to do, she would do it.”
He further added, “Gisele, in her own DNA, comes from a new world sensibility,” Luhrmann said of his leading lady. “I think that’s both fresh, but very true to Coco Chanel.” He added, “Coco was 100 per cent a self-empowered woman.”
Clearly, the Golden Globe-winner thinks Bundchen is just as powerful. “Gisele can be incredibly athletic. She has children. She has a very, very significant relationship. She has a career where she can create an inspirational, sensual, incredibly glamorous imagery,” said Luhrmann. And yet, he mused, “What’s most important to her, and I think I’m not out of line saying this, is love. That’s what we try to convey in this little film,” reported US magazine.
Meanwhile, Gisele revealed how she maintains such energy levels which enable her to not only stay at the top of her career at work but also be a mother and a wife to husband Tom Brady.
‘I get up at 5am to meditate every day. I know my kids and husband are still sleeping then and that it is my time,’ she explains, reported Daily Mail.
The iconic perfume campaign’s short film is called The One That I Want.
