Linda Evangelista finds it hard to spot a “bulls***ter”.
The supermodel knows many famous people have a sixth sense when it comes to knowing if someone is genuine or not. For her, it’s not that easy.
“No. When you first meet someone and you’re getting to know them you’re only really getting their interpretation of themselves,” she said, when asked if she can spot bulls***ters.
“I’ve met people who say, ‘Oh, I’m such a family man, family’s so important to me.’ Then you find out they never call their mother, they haven’t seen their brother in years and it’s not true.”
Linda is famously private about her personal life. She gave birth to a son called Augustin in 2006, but wouldn’t discuss who his biological father was.
There were rumours the boy was François-Henri Pinault’s son. The French businessman is married to Salma Hayek and last year reports surfaced that Linda was seeking financial support from him for Augustin.
Linda has admitted struggling with the constant speculation about her son.
“Maybe to you this is fascinating, to me it’s just my reality,” she told Love magazine when asked about the furore over Augustin’s paternity.
“I would love to answer your question. But I won’t because I’m putting my child’s needs in front of mine. I need to protect him. And I never, ever used my son for publicity. I never posed with him. In fact, that hurts me so much. I do understand why people more famous than me have to make that choice. Do I provide the first shot of my child and make the money and give it to charity? I hope to God there are celebrities who don’t do it for exposure.”
