Bio

If somebody put a gun to your head and told you to name the hottest chick alive, the safe bet would be to say Alessandra Ambrosio.

Born in the small town of Erechim, Brazil, she decided she wanted to be a model when she was eight years old. At age 11 she had cosmetic surgery to pin her ears back because she felt they stuck out too much. For the next two years she suffered complications from the surgery, whatever the hell that means. In 2006 she went on the Tyra Banks Show and admitted that the surgery had been a bad experience for her and that it discouraged from having plastic surgery again.
Career

At 12 she enrolled in a modeling class, where the professor would tell the other kids to try and look more like Alessandra. She is currently one of the highest paid models on the planet and has appeared on the cover of Victoria's Secret and GQ.

She is a part of the Brazilian supermodel revolution that includes Gisele Bundchen, Michelle Alves, Adriana Lima and her best friend, Ana Beatriz Barros.

In 2004, Ambrosio launched her line of swimwear called Alessandra Ambrosio by Sais, a division of Rosa Cha and is continuing to expand into other areas of licensing.

Ambrosio has made several television appearances, notably a cameo as herself on HBO's Entourage along with Izabel Goulart; The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn; Late Night with Conan O’Brien; as guest judge on Project Runway season 2: Team Lingerie and The Tyra Banks Show where she was a guest twice. She appeared alongside TV personality, Regis Philbin in a worldwide commercial for Hummer H2. In 2006, she had a cameo on the box-office hit movie, Casino Royale appearing briefly as tennis girl #1. Ambrosio guest-starred on How I Met Your Mother (episode: "The Yips") on November 26, 2007 with her fellow Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller, Miranda Kerr, and Heidi Klum.

Ambrosio is currently the National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, helping raise awareness for the unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system and raise funds for the ongoing research for its cure. Her father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in the late 1990s.
