An unexpected dance demonstration
In a short video published simultaneously on the Instagram accounts of The Tonight Show and Naomi Campbell, the latter begins by showing her student of the day the basic steps of tap dancing.
She then suggests to Jimmy Fallon to reproduce a little choreography “a little faster”.
Dressed in black leggings and a white shirt, Naomi Campbell, all smiles, then launched into a tap dancing demonstration to the loud applause of the audience.
A new talent that we didn't know about.
In addition to having paraded for Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Chanel and Balmain or having appeared, on several occasions, on the covers of the most emblematic magazines;
she also tried her hand at the big screen.
In 2016, she appeared in the comedy
Zoolander 2
, before repeating the experience in 2018 with
I Feel Pretty
.
A new career at 53
After a forty-year career, it is in business that the former queen of the catwalks now seems to want to flourish.
At 53, she recently teamed up with the former CEO of the PrettyLittleThing brand, Umar Kamani, to create a talent agency.
“Naomi and I believe that there is an opportunity to fill certain gaps in the current world of talent management,” the latter revealed last February in an interview with Arabian Business.
Furthermore, on June 22, 2024, the mother of two will be the star of an exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
This retrospective, soberly named “Naomi”, will celebrate “the creative collaborations, activism and wide-ranging cultural impact” of Naomi Campbell.
