LEARNER: Helena wants to ‘expand her horizons’

Monday December 14,2009

SHE'S one of the most famous and enduring supermodels but Helena Christensen isn’t just a pretty face and fabulous body, it seems she is a bit of bookworm as well.

Danish-born Helena, who took to the streets of Copenhagen protesting about climate change at the weekend, is passionate about reading and her idea of a good time is to curl up with an English dictionary.

“So I can expand my horizons,” she tells Elle magazine, adding that her current favourite word is “confound ”.

“I’m go ing to use that word, probably wrongly the first three times,” she says. “I get obsessed with spelling . I make every text message I send correct in punctuation. I am super-fastidious about certain things.”
