NOEMIE LENOIR
Hi, my name is Noemie Lenoir. I'm from France.

I started modeling 11 years ago. Another model--she found me in Gib-sur-Yvette, one little town in Paris. She asked me to be a model. And I was 16 years old, but my mother and my dad didn’t want to start that young. I started at 18 years old so it's kind of late for a model. But it was better for me in that at least I finished my school.

My first fashion show was in New York and it was for Ralph Lauren.

I love doing runway, yeah, yeah, I love it.

Of course, like every girl in the industry, the one who really inspired me is Iman. And like I know today, I'm going to meet her again for the third time in my life in the Tyra Banks show so I'm really happy.

My favorite city would be New York, for sure, but I'm traveling too much to say, "I live in New York." I live between London, Paris and New York but my--definitely, my heart is here.

I will not be singing.

Oh yeah, I know what I'm going.

Yeah, I shaved my head for "Rush Hour 3." It was like a big deal. Some people on the Internet said, “Why did she shave her hair? She could put like a fake scalp?” But I didn't want--I wanted to shave my hair. I wanted to change and hair grows back so, you know, it's good to change a little bit.

My son is my treasure. The rest will be my family and my friends.

In five years, hopefully, more kids, still modeling and maybe acting, healthy and--like I am right now. I’m a happy person.
