Christie Brinkley admits she doesn't think she could make it in the modelling industry because she's too curvy.
The 61-year-old model insists she wouldn't get booked for a job alongside the likes of Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid nowadays because she's not the right size, reported Femalefirst.
"There's no doubt these girls are drop dead gorgeous. But this is what our industry considers 'sporty, voluptuous' full bodies. And Victoria's Secret models used to be much fuller. And in my opinion, they're gorgeous, yes, but they're thin," she said.
"Our industry is getting sort of thinner and thinner. If I tried to be a model today, there's no way. I would never make it in the industry.
