OHMYGOSSIP — Jourdan Dunn reassessed her career amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The 32-year-old model shot to international stardom on the catwalk – but Jourdan admits that the pandemic was a turning point in her career. She shared: “I started asking myself the big questions, like what is my purpose? The pandemic was the perfect time to do a deep dive. I thought, you’ve got this time. How are you going to use it?” Jourdan came to feel disenchanted with the fashion industry over a period of time. She said: “I was at a stage where I was like, this doesn’t feel meaningful for me any more. I feel like I’m not expressing the different parts of Jourdan. There’s so much more.” Jourdan actually had a passion for acting before she “knew anything about fashion”, and the catwalk star is thrilled to have been cast in the ITV drama ‘Riches’. She told ES Magazine: “Acting is something that I’ve always wanted to do, since I was a kid, way before I knew anything about fashion. I was always in front of the mirror at my grandma’s house, acting out different scenarios.” Jourdan now feels as though she’s finally “becoming the woman [she] always wanted to be”. Despite this, she still feels amazed by what she’s already managed to achieve in her life. The model – who has a 12-year-old son called Riley – said: “When I’m on set doing a TV show, or in Paris for a day … if you’d have told me this would be my life I would’ve been like, ‘What the hell? No way. Me?’ So it’s exciting to feel like I’m becoming the woman I always wanted to be.”
