Alessandra Ambrosio: Bio, Age & Early Life
Alessandra Cosine Marie Ambrosio was born on the 11th of April 1981 in Erechim, Brazil to Luiz and Lucilda Ambrosio. The model who has Polish and Italian roots joined a modelling class at the age of 12. Two years later, she was shortlisted as one of the finalists for the Elite Model Look Competition in 1995. She had always felt insecure about her ‘large’ ears and as young as she was, she underwent surgery to correct the excesses but it was not as successful and there were complications two years after. She has said the experience discouraged her from getting plastic surgery ever again.
Luckily, her career has already taken off and she has been getting offers to work with some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Alessandra Ambrosio also made appearances on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilburn, HBO’s Entourage, and Late Night with Conan O’ Brien.
