Naomi Campbell might be famous for her very flammable temper and the rages she flies in when someone dares to cross her but, long before that, she was famous for her amazing body and modeling skills. These are still at their best, it’s safe to say.

The 43-year-old star is featured in the latest women-oriented publication Shape, which also comes with a gorgeous shot of Naomi on the cover, rocking a cutout bathing suit like only she can. The photo can be viewed in full if you click on the image above.

The spread also comes with an interview that probably includes the usual chit chat about dieting and the importance of a regular workout but, for the time being, it’s not available online. However, one single glance at Naomi’s body and it becomes clear that she’s putting a lot of time and effort in it, she isn’t just genetically blessed.

Seeing how she makes her money off her body, it’s only natural for her to go the extra mile to always be in top shape. Hopefully, the full interview will offer tips that regular women can also use to tone up.

The Daily Mail has obtained several quotes from the interview, but they don’t touch on the topic of Naomi’s beauty regimen, as the model discusses her ongoing struggles to quit smoking.

“People told me that cigarettes are harder to quit than alcohol. I didn’t believe it, but you know what? It is harder. I’m not someone who wants to light up inside people’s homes, including my own, and I don’t want to stand outside on street corners anymore. It’s still a struggle. In fact, just talking about it makes me crave one, so let’s stop, please! But I am really trying,” Naomi says.

She knows how hard it is to quit drinking as well, as her checkered history can confirm. Aside from a stint in rehab for cocaine addiction, the gorgeous model has also had to tackle alcohol issues.

“I choose not to drink today in my life because I find that I’m allergic to alcohol. I have more energy and I have more fun than when I was drinking and I can hang out really late and get up early in the morning with no hangovers and still smile,” she said in one of her most recent interviews.
