Hall: Models were 'jealous and mean'

Jerry Hall says women were "jealous and mean" when she began modelling.

The 53-year-old star struggled to make lasting friendships when she began working in the fashion industry in her teens and 20s and prefers her life the way it is now.

She explained: "It's nice. I get on great with women. I like women. Modelling was difficult because when you're young and beautiful and successful the other women are jealous and they're mean to you. I had difficulty making female relationships that were lasting in my early years.

"It came good when I quit modelling."

Jerry - whose daughters with Mick Jagger, Lizzie and Georgia May, are both now models - does still star in some advertisements, but admits she doesn't always enjoy it.

Jerry - who is starring in the play 'Calendar Girls' in London's West End, in which she appears naked - told Britain's The Times newspaper: "Now all I can see is wrinkles and fat and I just think, 'Ergh! Horrible!' "
