Gisele Bunchen Says We’ve Been Mispronouncing Her Name This Whole Time

Buy Me A Coffee

Ah, Gisele Bundchen, the queen of the catwalk and the bane of pronunciation guides worldwide. You know, that supermodel who’s graced more magazine covers than you’ve had hot dinners? Yeah, her.

So, picture this: young Gisele, fresh off the plane from Brazil, ready to conquer the American fashion scene. But hold your horses, because there’s a linguistic hurdle standing in her way – her name.

In a recent blast from the past video, the now 43-year-old icon spilled the beans on her early struggles in the land of stars and stripes. And surprise, surprise, it’s all about that darn name.

Forget about mispronouncing her last name, that’s old news. We’re talking about the whole shebang. You see, it’s not just “Gisele,” it’s “Gisele-y.” Yeah, wrap your tongue around that one.

Back in the golden year of 2005, Gisele swung by Late Night with Conan O’Brien to spill the tea on her American journey. Turns out, her name was causing more confusion than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles.

Imagine poor Gisele, strutting into meetings, only to be met with blank stares and butchered attempts at her name. “Gis-who? Gis-what?” It’s like a linguistic rollercoaster, folks.

And don’t even get her started on casting events. She’d be there, repeating her name like a broken record, and still, crickets. “It’s not rocket science, people!” she probably screamed internally.

So, what’s a supermodel to do in the face of such linguistic adversity? Well, when life gives you mispronunciations, you make it fashion. Gisele just threw in the towel and accepted her fate as “Gisele,” because sometimes, you’ve just got to roll with the mispronounced punches.
