Lena Gercke: "I am totally chaotic"

• 2014

Star interview with Lena Gercke

You can not see that! Precisely because Lena Gercke (26) works so professionally.

At a pleasant 24 degrees I meet Lena Gercke at the end of September in the hotel "Due Torri" in Verona, just five minutes walk from the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony. Although it stays pleasantly warm in the evening, we both pull on our leather jacket after the interview. The reason: We are invited to the "Intimissimi On Ice Opera Pop".

Stars unvarnished: Here you can see celebrities like Lena Gercke from your most natural side!

At this event in the famous Amphitheater "Arena di Verona" young skating artists perform daring choreographies to classical pieces up to modern numbers of Coldplay. Since the sympathetic blonde brand ambassador of the Italian lingerie label Intimissimi, I am of course particularly interested in what she cares about underwear and her styling - and how she stays in shape.

JOY: Lena, let's go to a pop opera right away. Which music do you prefer to listen to privately?

Lena: I really like pop (laughs). But I also like classical music. It has something very sensual. I often hear classical music for getting off the plane. Otherwise, I am also on hip-hop or currently on the singer Kiezsa.

Do you have a good mood song?

So, I think everyone at Pharrell Williams "Happy" is happy!

Are you actually putting together an extra playlist for your workout?

Yes, a few quieter songs and many with power and a fast beat that spur me on.

What sport do you do?

I have just launched a fitness program, "atamba". After that I train a lot. The practical: You only work with your own body weight, ie without dumbbells or equipment, because that protects the joints. But I also like to run or play tennis.

Did skating as a child sometimes be a dream for you?

I loved ice skating! I used to be on the ice often with my girls. Probably not as professional as today (laughs). But it's a lot of fun. In winter holidays, we often look for a skating rink.

Very intimate: Lena with Anne Oppel from the JOY

For Intimissimi and Calzedonia, walk in underwear over the catwalk. Do you make a special body tuning before?

Of course, I already look that I'm optimally in shape, when such a show is due. But I do not do any special training, I just look again at nutrition and sport.

What kind of underwear do you prefer to wear?

Parts in which I feel comfortable, but also sexy. I find lace and silk fabrics great.

How do you beautifully stage your décolleté?

First, I decide on a top and then look for the right bra to look. For example, when I wear a lace top like today, I combine it with a strapless bra. Especially sexy are cross-shaped bras.

Which jewelery do you choose?

Delicate pieces, narrow chains, small pendants or maybe just a few creoles. Often I just wear a lot of rings.

You just said that you pay attention to your diet. In what way?

I'm not a fan of diets and I do not want to sacrifice anything consistently. The more you ban food, the more pleasure you get! Instead of completely omitting carbohydrates, they prefer to eat only once a day. The balance is important. And if chocolate, then rather the dark!

What was your best shoot so far?

I prefer to work in nature. Once I stood in the rainforest in Puerto Rico in front of the camera. A unique experience! If possible, I like to hang on to holidays for two days at such locations.

At the pusher: Lena in the jury "Das Supertalent" next to Bruce Darnell, Guido M. Krteschmer and Dieter Bohlen (Fridays, 8:15 pm, RTL)

Do you enjoy the fresh air?

Total! I try to spend as much time outside on days off as possible. Then I go, for example, to Austria in the mountains. We often do that as a winter vacation. My family lives in the country and there we go a lot of cycling.

You live now with your fiancé in Spain. How do you like it there?

Quite well. The weather is better than in Germany. It makes you happy when you wake up in the morning and the sun is shining. This is a completely different attitude to life than the same scenario in a gray sky ...

You will also be back in the "Supertalent" jury. What is your biggest talent?

To devastate my hotel room in two minutes because I'm so messy. I'm really good at it (laughs).

Only in the hotel or at home?

That's private too. Unfortunately (laughs). Yes, I have to say, I'm very neat and disciplined in my job. After work, I'm more of a chaot then.

Do you even read in the hotel in the evening?

Yes, finally "Tomorrow is a new heaven" by Lori Nelson Spielman, a great book. Totally sad, but also extremely motivating.

Are you a serial junkie too?

No. I prefer to go to the cinema. Last time I was in "A Most Wanted Man". Otherwise, I like to watch thriller, comedy or drama. Horror does not work for me. After that I can not go anywhere alone anymore (laughs). Not even in your own apartment. I'm a shit.

Casual in leather: Jackets she can not have enough

Where we are at your apartment: Which key piece should every woman in the wardrobe have?

A black blazer! With leather inserts or shoulder pads. It always works - just like a white blouse and leather pants.

How would you describe your private clothing style?

Very casual. Most of the time I wear sneakers or boots, so rather flat shoes because I'm tall anyway. A tattered boyfriend jeans or a leather pants with a cool shirt or oversized sweater. Finished!

Do you have a favorite trend part for this fall?

Yes, I am currently looking for a perfect oversized coat in a caramel tone.

Which styling do you like for men?

Beards and woolen hats are great. I was in Berlin the other day and the boys were really outrageous there. Totally stylish, a bit urban and very cool. I love boys with Cappy. That always looks very sporty and still casual.

Do you have a shoe-tuck like many women?

No, but a Jackentick! I have so many. When I go shopping, somehow I always come home with a jacket (laughs).

What does the inner life of your handbag look like?

Chaotic, like my wardrobe (laughs). Although I have the smallest handbags, there is always chaos in it: hair bands, hair clips, lip care, wallet, cell phone, pen, chewing gum ...

As a model, you will always receive compliments. Which was the most beautiful?

(thinks) I do not get that many. I'm most happy when people who do not even know me privately say to me: "You do not just look great, you're also very nice." I think it's great when a compliment is not just reduced to looks, but if I get it because of my character. Everything else is superficial and transient. Of course nice to hear, but it does not mean so much to me.
