Model Emily Ratajkowski has opened up about her struggles with self-doubt in a candid interview featured in Beyond Noise magazine. The 34-year-old, who recently posed in leather for the magazine, reflected on the feelings of inadequacy she experienced while writing her 2021 memoir, “My Body.” Ratajkowski admitted, “I had imposter syndrome,” revealing that the journey of putting her thoughts into words was transformative.
The best-selling author, whose memoir has resonated with millions, shared how her writing journey has evolved over the past five years. “I wrote my book literally on my phone,” she noted, emphasizing the humble beginnings of her writing process. “Now I have a desk. I have my bookshelf. I have a proper computer. I’ve really embraced it, but I loved how I could trick myself into thinking what I was doing wasn’t important.”
In addition to her literary endeavors, Ratajkowski has recently partnered with Lena Dunham, known for her work on the TV series “Girls,” to create a new show. This collaboration marks a significant step in her career as she continues to explore her talents beyond modeling.
On the personal front, Ratajkowski has been linked to actor Austin Butler, known for his role as Elvis Presley in the 2022 biopic. The two were spotted enjoying a cozy evening together at the New York diner, Waverly Inn, where they shared laughs over cocktails. Witnesses described the pair as “super intimate” and noted their playful chemistry during the two-hour conversation.
Ratajkowski’s journey showcases not only her growth as a writer and artist but also serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing one’s achievements, no matter how humble the beginnings may be. By sharing her experiences, she hopes to inspire others to confront and overcome their own feelings of self-doubt.
