I was the type of kid that in rooms with adults, I was always entertaining them and talking to them, telling them stories.

And adults just thought it was a hoot.

I feel like everything happened at five, but probably less.

just that's your like age everything started at five years old no i don't know yeah i think it was like five or six and well because my dad cooks and so he you know and i he i remember he used to uh grate the potatoes i took the potato skin i'd make concoctions in the kitchen you know and like or one time when i was five or six i wanted to make caramel from scratch my mom was gone i think it was just me and my sister or something

And I'm obviously not allowed to use a stove at five or six by myself, but I really wanted to make caramel from scratch.

So I used the stove in secret to melt my butter and the sugar or whatever the recipe called for.

And it came home and I was like, mom, I make caramel.

And she's like, how'd you do that?

And I was like, I use the sun.

I put the bowl in the window and I melted it.

I want to say she believed me, but she probably just didn't care to like, not didn't care, but she probably like, whatever.

She had to know I didn't use the sun.

I don't know how I got away with that, but you know.

So yeah, around that, I don't know.

So around that time, so my mom took me and my sister to an agency in Paris.

It was called Frimousse.

And we got like represented.

And then we got like photos done and everything.

And then I started booking jobs.

And I worked for like, I did like, it's like fashion design.
