If you follow the fashion world, you definitely know about Bella Hadid. The supermodel extraordinaire is known for her toned physique and pert bottom. But there’s another—she rarely smiles in photos.

“I feel uncomfortable, sometimes, smiling in front of the camera. It actually took me until probably this year to really understand my face.” Bella recently spoke with The Guardian about why she doesn’t smile in photos.

Bella went on to explain that people are always surprised that she’s nicer in person than they expected her to be. She told The Guardian, “People meet me sometimes and say, “You’re so different to what I expected.” People always tell me I seem mean or intimidating on social media. But I really love engaging with new people.”

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Bella discussed the challenges she faced being a model. She said she went from “just speaking to her horses and her mother” to become a celebrity more quickly than she was prepared for.

“I feel like I’ve rushed into becoming a woman, so now I just want to be a teenager again,” Bella said.
