Candice Swanepoel on GQ: Proof That Living Well is the Best Revenge



Swimsuit body: Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel shows off her impressive physique in her latest shoot for GQ magazine, gaining revenge on her school bullies


Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel says that she was teased at school for her small frame, however the 23-year-old admits that modeling has been the perfect revenge for those bullies.While modeling a range of beachwear and lingerie for GQ, the blonde said she felt like an outside growing up in South Africa, until she was discovered at a Durban flea market, aged 15 in 2003.
She told the magazine: 'A year before I got scouted, I would watch a lot of FashionTV. At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me.
'I would say to my mom "The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV". A year later, someone took me to an agency and that’s it.

She may as well have been naked! The 23-year-old also modelled a thong and bizarre black heels

'Revenge is always… I know it sounds terrible, but it does feel good to show those people.
'I put all my eggs in one basket when I left South Africa. I put my head down and worked my ass off. And look where it got me.'
Candice, who has been dating Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli since she was 17, said that whenever she feels down, she'll look at social networking sites to cheer up.
'Whenever you feel down, you can check on Twitter and feel better about yourself, because it’s only people who like you.'
The beauty said she had developed lasting friendships with fellow Victoria's Secret models, who understood what she was going through.
'It’s so nice. We live a very different life that not many other people can understand.'
