Today is a big day for Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen - the release of her first movie “Taxi”. The 24-year-old model confessed to have gotten “cold stomach” while trying herself in a new role of a ruthless, fast-driving bank robber named Vanessa.

“I’ve been modeling for quite a while, ” says Victoria’s Secret Angel, “so it’s kind of exciting to do something that gives you that cold stomach, the insecurity that makes you think, ’Oh man, can I really do this?’ ”

“I never thought of this movie as the next level of my career - I just thought, I’ve been doing the same job for 10 years, and this is a new opportunity. It’s not Shakespeare, I’m not telling everyone I’m a serious actress, because that’s not who I am. I’m a model! I just enjoy challenges. I wasn’t carrying this movie on my shoulders, I was simply the villain.”

“When you try something new like this, it makes you appreciate what you do. Acting made me appreciate my modeling job much more,” said the catwalk goddess, as reports New York Daily News.
