Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Kate Upton apparently risked her senses during the latest photo shoot for the magazine’s much anticipated swimsuit issue.
During an interview with the Today Show on Tuesday, the model revealed that she was losing her hearing and eyesight because her body was shutting down.
“I was very surprised by the news that that’s where my shoot was going to be located,’’ she said on TODAY Tuesday in her first interview since making the cover. “It was freezing. I’m from Florida, so it wasn’t great for me. When I came back I was losing hearing and eyesight because my body was shutting down, it was working so hard to keep warm. I was thinking warm thoughts.”
But Upton isn’t just any model, she’s the Earl Campbell of the supermodel world since she was just happy to get good shots.
“I could really only do it for a minute and then everyone would come running and throw blankets on top of me and they would build me like a little blanket cave,’’ she said. “I really went all out on this. We went there thinking we might not even get a shot, and came back with the cover.”
