London, Oct 28 : Former supermodel Cindy Crawford has said that she "would not have become a supermodel in 2009" because she had too "normal" a body to succeed in today’s size zero obsessed fashion industry.

The 43-year-old Crawford was one of the highest paid glamour girls in the 1980s and 1990.

"I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

She added that her body "with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms" is no longer what the industry wants today.

However, Crawford is quite comfortable in her skin.

She told German mag Bunte: "That''s why I like being in my 40s so much. Being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty." (ANI)
