14 DAY TRIAL // Model and actress Rebecca Romijn is the star of the latest Got Milk? campaign, which aims not only to contribute to charity through several foundations but to raise awareness on the importance of healthy nutrition, one that should also include milk. Together with her are her twins, Dolly and Charlie. However, shooting with them was far from a walk in the park, the star says for the latest issue of People magazine.
The unveiling of the Got Milk? photo coincided with the launch of the Great Gallon Give charitable campaign. The actress and husband Jerry O’ Connell were both present at the event, in support for the cause. Speaking with People, Rebecca said that, if she were to compare this more recent campaign to the one she did many years ago, she could, without a doubt, say that this one was the hardest because she also had the twins on the set.
“It was challenging. The last time I did this campaign in 1998, we shot it in Times Square, middle of a tropical storm, during rush hour, in July, without permits… I thought that was chaotic. Well, guess what? Shooting with nine-month old twins when one of them is not havin’ it all day long…” the star told people at the launch of the ad in Los Angeles.
Dolly, for one, was none too pleased about her modeling debut. “I think this is one of maybe three frames where she wasn’t screaming her head off and that was way more chaotic than the one that I did in 1998. I think Jerry was probably doing cartwheels behind the photographer trying to get them to calm down. [Charlie] was loving it – loving the lights, loving everyone standing around looking at her. Dolly looks exactly how I looked as a baby and Charlie looks exactly how Jerry looked as a baby,” Rebecca further says.
When asked whom the twins resemble the most, the glowing mom says Charlie is unlike either of her parents. Perhaps this was also what made her modeling debut such a wonderful experience, because she’s always smiling and thriving on attention and new experiences, Rebecca explains.
