"I loved the travel but I didn’t love the work. I mean, come on, modelling is only so stimulating!" ― Brooklyn Decker Topic(s): Travel More From Brooklyn Decker "The ‘Sports Illustrated’ cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, ‘You know what, I really… I don’t want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.’ And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment." "I’m named after a horse. My mom’s best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested ‘Brooklyn’ as a more formal version, and it just stuck – and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure." More In Travel "I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world.
