Estella Warren was born on December 23rd 1978 in Peterborough, Ontario,
Canada.
Estella Warren was a synchronized swimmer from the ages of seven
to 17 in her native Canada. She moved away from home at 12 to train
for the Canadian National Team. She was the Canadian National Champion
for three years and represented her country at the World Aquatic
Championship, where she placed second.
She began modelling when she was in a fashion show at high
school, and her Polaroid was sent to a modelling agent in New York.
She soon after appeared in three issues of Italian Vogue with Ellen
Von Unwerth. She say's "I thought it would be fun but it was
hard work."
Estella was then chosen as the model for the Chanel
#5 campaign, and then the Perry Ellis campaign. She says she likes
modelling because she gets to meet a lot of different people with
different backgrounds. "You learn to deal with different characters".
Estella also likes the travelling that goes with modelling internationally.
As Estella now lives in New York, she says she misses the open space
of Canada but that New York has such a fun, fast, invigorating pace. "You
get so much done in a day here". Estella says that to keep her
model figure, she exercises a lot. "I get an adrenaline rush
after exercising every day. I run, bike, do yoga or hike. I like
to take bike rides with my boyfriend. At the gym, I do cardio, sit-ups
and stretch."
She also says she eats plenty of vegetables, fruit,
lean proteins and whole grains. "When I really crave something
sweet, I treat myself to cookies and ice cream. I also love steak."
Estella's
hobbies include singing, swimming, horseback riding and playing the
piano. She says that if she wasn't modelling, she would love to get
into acting, or she would want to own a classic French restaurant
or a bar/restaurant, because she loves to cook.
Of late however,
it seems that Estella has decided to take up acting after all. Estella
has been in several films: "Driven" in which she plays
Sophia Simone, "Planet of the Apes" in which she plays
Nova, "Tangled" and "Perfume." |
