Rosie Huntington-Whiteley on being a brand

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley thinks of herself as "a business" and admires the work ethic of supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

The British model-and-actress - who is in a relationship with actor Jason Statham - admires the work ethic of a Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen and has learned a lot in her approach to work from her.

She said: "I love Gisele. She has such a healthy image and has made herself into a brand. I guess I try and think of myself as a business. And I want to go to work."

In an interview for Sunday times Style magazine, Rosie said that having a "strong personality" is key to success in the fashion world.

She added: “You need to be able to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, to be able to say no and stand up for yourself. When a woman wants something and she goes about it in a tough way, a lot of the times she gets branded a bitch. That p***es me off because when a man is firm, he's just doing his business.”
