World's Oldest Lingerie Model Retires at 62

Lingerie model Marie Helvin has done her final photo shoot in the industry at the age of 62 years old. According to AOL, she is the world's oldest lingerie model.

Helvin started modeling at 15 and since then, she never stopped striking a pose for the camera. For almost 50 years, she's been doing this job for clients like Always Aliza. She has mastered the art of posing with lingerie for her clients for 5 decades now.

She said that she maintains her perfect physique for the job by religiously going to the gym at least four times a week. Her profession needs discipline when it comes to attaining the supermodel body and Helvin has been diligent so up to this age. The model loves her job but she admits that it could be hard and stressful, especially now that she is 62. The Daily Mail reported that the model said she'd really just rather eat pizza than do all that workout in the gym.

It could be tough for a model and be a professional in the field as what Helvin told the publication. Her mom died in 2014 and that was one of the most difficult situations in her life. Good thing she got a friend who comforted her on email. She still needs to work whenever there is a client that books her for a shoot. The show must go on, as what they say in show business. And now, Helvin felt that it's time to finally rest from the camera and all that makeup, as she has done a good job over the years being a lingerie model. She could now eat all the pizza that she wants.
