Bar Refaeli



How does it feel to be the No. 1 hottest woman in the world?
It doesn’t feel real, because I still can’t believe it. I feel like someone’s going to call and tell me there’s been a mistake.

We can assure you that won’t happen. Were you surprised?
I was in shock! I think it’s the title I’m going to be most proud of until I die. When I’m older, I’m going to walk around and say, “Hey, I’m Bar Refaeli. I was No. 1 Most Beautiful in MAXIM!” It’s an honour you never want to forget.

You told Conan O’Brien that no one asks you out. It’s hard to believe that.
It’s true, and I think part of the reason is that I’m not out much. I’m usually at a photo shoot or going to sleep early. I don’t really have a chance to meet people other than businessmen on planes. They’re all married and much older, though.

No one’s made a move? C’mon!
OK, well, since I said that on Conan, I’ve started getting letters at my house and DVDs of people asking me out. What I mean to say is that guys aren’t actually talking to me.

How should guys approach you?
If someone is funny, he should say something funny. If someone is sweet and gentle, he should talk that way. Just be yourself. I don’t like when guys act too cool for school. Like, the other day I was at the airport, and there was a cute guy who I saw notice me. But instead of coming up to me, he put his head down and started texting to appear like, “Oh, I didn’t even see you!” I was like, If you really were cool, you’d just be yourself and talk to me.
