Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: I Rotate In a Very Privileged Bubble

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks smoking hot in her bathing suit on the cover of Esquire UK‘s April 2015 issue, on newsstands now.

Here’s what the 27-year-old model had to share with the mag:

On not being successful at first: “The first eight years of my career were a grind. Sometimes I almost forget. I moan about having to get on a 12-hour flight and I catch myself and go, ‘Shut the f*ck up, Rosie. Who thought you would be sat in First Class on British Airways sipping a cup of tea, everyone asking if there’s anything else they can bring you?’ It’s a very privileged bubble I rotate in…and it’s important for me to remember that.”

On where she’d like to travel: “I’d like to go to Vietnam, I’d like to go to Laos, Burma. South America: I’d like to spend more time in Rio. I’d like to go to Argentina again, and Chile, and I’d love to go to Machu Picchu. I should write a list, really, of all the incredible places to see before I croak.”

On loving Thailand: “It was really the first time in the five years we’ve been together where Jason and I have been able to lie on a beach and not have some zoom lens up our arses, where people weren’t really fussed about us, and we were able to do normal things/ And you can’t get the Daily Mail in Thailand so that is one of the major reasons to go back there.”
