Pop Culture Q&A
First album you bought? Nevermind by Nirvana. I used to listen to Nirvana all the time when I was younger and this is one of my favorite albums. I still have it today and I listen to it all the time. I used to really like rock music growing up because I used to live with a family with two boys that would always listen to rock and roll. That's how I became such a big Nirvana fan.
First concert you attended? U2. I saw U2 play in São Paulo in 1997 and it was amazing. At the time I was living with five girls and all of us went to the show. I'm still a big U2 fan and I have a lot of their CDs.
Rock star that you know? None personally.
Rock star you want to know? Elvis. Most of the musicians I like are, unfortunately, dead -- like Elvis and Kirk Cobain. But if I could, I would love to meet Elvis. Everything about him was amazing. His personality, his moves, his music, his passion for what he was doing. I have a lot of respect for him.
Gnarls Barkley is... Not sure.
Britney Spears is... Lost. She's a great pop star no doubt but she's a little lost right now.
K-Fed is... The opposite of Britney Spears. He's the complete opposite of Britney in terms of his popularity and success.
When I sing karaoke... I try to cover up my bad singing with my dance moves. I love to sing Brazilian songs like Ben Que Se Quin.
Song that reminds you of your first kiss? Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar by Caetano Veloso. It's a beautiful song and it's still one of my favorites.
Song that makes you cry? Borat singing the Kazakhstan National Anthem That made me laugh and cry so hard when I saw that in the movie theater.
What you wanted to be at age 10? I wanted to be many things but the top thing was to be a judge. I always wanted to be a judge. I'm not sure why, but when I was younger I liked to play with papers and make decisions, and I always thought I would make a good judge.
Athlete that you want to know? Muhammad Ali and Pelé. Ali is a very courageous man and is such a big idol of mine and he's a great person for everything he has done. And Pelé is "The King." He's my king.
I'll spend Valentine's Day... I will be at the SI Swimsuit Launch Party.
What attracts you to a man? His eyes. The way the man talks to you through his eyes.
