‘ I ’ D PUT JUNK FOOD IN ROOM 101, SO THAT I WOULDN’ T EAT IT ALL . IT’ S BAD, BUT SO GOOD’
NATASHA POLY, 31
We ask the model to take an exclusive selfie – and reveal all Who is your best friend?
Eugenia Volodina [right]. We’ve been best friends since I started modelling. She’s always there for me and is the godmother to my daughter, so she’s part of the family.
What’s your biggest regret?
My grandmother passed away at the beginning of this year, and I regret not spending more time with her before she died. It’s hard when you live in different countries.
What’s your biggest extravagance?
Travel. I love to explore, and I always bring my parents and family along with me.
What is your type?
I’m always attracted to eye-catching men with blonde hair, but they have to be funny, caring and kind.
When was the last time you were embarrassed?
I met someone on a night out and we spent the whole night together with some friends. It was so fun, but then at the end of the night I got his name wrong. He just said, ‘Excuse me, that’s not my name!’ It was horrifying.
When was the last time you lost your temper?
At the airport on a connecting flight from Miami. There was a lot of security and a lot of rules. I just totally lost it.
What from the past would you like to delete from the internet?
There’s a lot of false stuff written about me. You try and prove that it’s not true on Instagram or social media, but I’d love the chance just to correct everything that’s wrong.
Who owes you an apology?
Nobody. I never hold grudges. If someone does something bad to me, I take it as a sign that they shouldn’t be in my life, and I let it go.
Who or what would go into your Room 101?
Rude people! I hate bad behaviour. And I’d put junk food in there, so that I wouldn’t eat it all. It’s bad, but so good.
Tell us a secret.
I’m addicted to Nutella. Once you take one bite, you just can’t stop.
What’s the biggest misconception about you?
That I’m difficult to work with. I’m actually really easy-going.
Who do you miss the most?
My family. I live in Amsterdam and they’re in Russia. I only get to see them a few times a year and I miss them a lot.
What is your biggest life lesson?
My father always told me never to judge people or have a preconceived idea of what people are like. And he told me not to gossip, because it brings bad energy to everything you do.
