Claudia Schiffer: 'Botox is a poison'

Claudia Schiffer has claimed that getting older doesn't worry her.

The supermodel recently posed topless for the unretouched cover of Tank magazine. She also strips off alongside Eva Herzigova and Naomi Campbell in the television adverts for the new Dolce & Gabbana perfume Anthology.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Schiffer said: "I'm happy to do it. I didn't work out, I didn't do anything special for the advert and I wasn't even nervous. Of course, as a model it is normal to be taking your clothes off all the time.

"I wouldn't think I was ever too old to do something like that. I mean, maybe if I was 60 or 70, then yes, I'd stop doing nude shots, but then I guess it depends who's asking. With Mario Testino, for example, who is such a brilliant photographer, you would do anything."

The 39-year-old added that she is intending to grow old gracefully and will never use Botox.

"It's poison in my skin and no-one knows the long-term effects," she said. "I'm far more scared of that than a wrinkle on my forehead.

"All of my friends are my age and we are all ageing at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn't bother me."
