Kate Moss talks about `painful' side of modeling

- From wire services

British model Kate Moss has revealed some past pitfalls from her modeling career in a rare interview with BBC podcast series “Desert Island Discs.”

Moss opened up to host Lauren Laverne about experience­s she underwent in the industry. Iconic shoots that helped define her career were oftentimes “difficult and painful” behind the scenes, according to Moss. While shooting the seminal 1992Calvin Klein underwear campaign featuring her and Mark Wahlberg, for example, Moss told Laverne she felt “vulnerable and scared.” Wahlberg “was very macho and it was all about him; he had a big entourage.” Other times, she said, photograph­ers had “pressured her” to show more skin than she was comfortabl­e — including being shot topless.

As the face of the infamous '90s fashion trend “heroin chic,” Moss said she felt she often became “the scapegoat for a lot of people's problems.”
