Supermodel Gisele Bundchen hits back at critics in powerful motivational ad
Models have their fair share of critics too. And Victoria's Secret Angel Gisele Bundchen is no exception.
Detractors lashed out at Bundchen when she was announced as one of the new faces of Under Armour, an American sports clothing brand.
They took to social media deriding the fact that she is just a model and was not worthy to be part of the campaign.
But in a powerful, motivational ad, Bundchen hits back, literally, at these critics.
The Brazilian bombshell discards her glamorous side by kick boxing and hitting a punching bag with force in a warehouse setting.
And she does this as users' insults flash behind her. Among some of these insults were words of encouragement.
Bundchen said in a statement: "This incredibly inspirational initiative serves as a powerful reminder of all the amazing things women can do despite the pressures and criticisms we may encounter.
"Having the strength to tune out negativity and remain focused on what I want gives me the will and confidence to achieve my goals."
And more people started seeing the world's highest paid supermodel as more than just a model.
