Elle
Macpherson has opened up on taking care of her enviable body. The model has now
hit the 50 year milestone and admits that at this point in her life, she has to
put in more effort when it comes to looking after her figure. She also says
that she has shifted focus to how she feels rather than how she looks because
she wants to feel as though she is in top health: ''I think as a woman,
when you get to 50 you have to make a bit more effort. Being well, being fit
and being healthy from the inside out is really important. Obviously, great
lighting and good make-up team helps! 'For me it's really about the way I
feel, not so much the way I look anymore. And if I'm feeling good,
I'm feeling strong and I'm feeling vibrant then I tend to look better.''
Elle
says that while many people might envy her job, she admits that it isn't as
easy as many people think and there are plenty of things she has to worry about
still. However, because she loves what she does, she says it makes it easier to
work through the pressure and stress: ''I'm sure people think, 'How
great - you're on telly, you're famous, you get reservations in restaurants!'
And I'm thinking, 'I'm up at 3am getting my hair and make-up done, I'm worrying
about what I'm wearing.' Like all jobs the real success comes from the
commitment and the work that you put into it. And one of my mottos in life is
'Do what you love and love what you do'. There's no shortcuts.''
