Gisele Bündchen nearly fell off iceberg in scary photo shoot accident: ‘Would have been dead in seconds’

Gisele Bündchen revealed she once almost died during a photo shoot in Iceland after nearly falling off a “fake” iceberg.

While playing a game of “True Confessions” with fellow guest Wayne Brady on the “Tonight Show” Thursday, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel revealed the scary incident happened in the late ’90s.

“I was there going around like this,” she began as she swiveled her body in a spinning motion, “as a drone was filming me, and I would have been dead in seconds because you know what happens when you fall inside the freezing water of the iceberg?”

“[In] seconds, you’re dead! Dead,” she said.

Although host Jimmy Fallon and the “Whose Line Is it Anyway?” alum believed Bündchen had been lying, she confirmed it was a true story.

“It was for this fragrance called Oxygene … I was supposed to be in this slip dress while everyone was like in a boat … with like huge puffer jackets and life vests,” she shared, explaining that she was twirling in her barely-there outfit to breathe in the air.

“I’m alive, so thank God I’m here.”

Bündchen, 43, has been on a press tour to promote her new cookbook, “Nourish,” and revealed on Thursday that she was able to cure her “severe” depression and panic attacks by changing her diet.

The model, who had been drinking coffee, smoking and “eating terrible all day” at the time, realized her Lifestyle was “destroying [her] Health and creating the condition [she] was in.”

“Everything changed,” she gushed. “I became a different person. I started practicing meditation. I started practicing yoga. I started practicing breath work. It was a long journey.”

She noted, “Food, for me, is medicine.”

The Ipanema designer also broke down her current exercise routine, telling WSJ. Magazine that she enjoys Pilates, lifting weights and doing cardio in addition to outdoor activities such as horseback riding and surfing.
