Genie Bouchard hit the headlined big time after appearing topless on Sports Illustrated. The Canadian beauty looked fantastic, and she explained how she managed to shrug off the tension even if she was topless; actually, that helped.
Why being topless helped me to calm down. BOUCHARD
During a recent interview, Genie commented
“I was very nervous; It was the first time I’ve posed topless, so that was different for me and that was the first shot done, at 7:00 AM as soon as we went to the beach. ‘All right, no top, you are taking it off.’ I was like: ‘Okay.’ Straight to. It actually helped my nerves because after that it was like ‘well, they have seen everything,’ so I just became comfortable with the camera.
It was hard work; I was exhausted. I did like seven bathing suit changes in a period of six hours and just constantly working much harder than what people think.”
It was hard work, but it paid off!
