Downtown Magazine Fall 2018 Issue

Anne De Paula
As a model, Anne De Paula relies on her
appearance.
However, this doesn’t come at the expense
of living her life.
“I work out to be the best version of myself, that’s
all. All I want is to be healthy and happy,”
she explains.
To ensure this, she works out consistently at least
three times a week. While it can be difficult to find
the time between castings and jobs, finding a way
to make it fun makes it easier. She’s especially fond
of Muay Thai, and describes herself as always having
been more of a tomboy.
A positive attitude allows her to do what she does
– and to do it well.
“I love what I do,” she says. “I am always motivated
to go to work.”
And loving what she does also makes it easier to
stay in shape, and she especially loves how great
she feels after a good workout.
Being in a field so heavily focused on looks, Anne
stays grounded with this simple mindset:
“Love your body no matter what,” she advises.
“Never try to be something or try to look like someone.
We are all different and that’s what’s special,”
she says.
