LONDON - Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has revealed that she almost ruined her career by bingeing on fast food and cigarettes.

The 28-year-old, who is among the highest paid models in the world, says she was depressed over her career a few years ago and tried to ruin her figure by eating unhealthy snacks and smoking, reports contactmusic.co.

‘I was smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day and eating cheeseburgers all day. I was treating my body, which is my temple and my best friend, as my worst enemy,’ said Bundchen.

The Brazilian supermodel married American football star Tom Brady last month.
