Depression Confession: Bar Rafeali

Okay, okay — you got me. She’s not really depressed. I mean, why would she be? She’s fabulously gorgeous, on the cover of Sports Illustrated, dating Leonardo DiCaprio (though he’s not my favorite; see my comments here if you scroll down), and now she’s going to be in a Hollywood movie. She is, however, playing someone who’s depressed. Here’s the article from the Indian site Sify.com:

Bar Refaeli to make film debut as psychiatric patient

Israeli model Bar Refaeli has been very much in the news after posing for the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, and now she will be making her film debut as a psychiatric patient.

Refaeli, 23, will be playing the part of a psychiatric patient in the suspense drama Session, which will be released later this year.

“It’s about my love-hate relationship with a therapist. It was a lovely experience,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

As for her making the cover of the swimsuit issue, Refaeli is very excited about it, and says that her grandma is her biggest fan.

“As soon as I found out I’d got the cover this time, I called 30 people – all my friends in Israel, all my friends in LA, my grandma and my grandpa,” she said.

“My family is so proud of me. My grandma says she walks down the street and people go up to her and say, ‘Are you Bar Refaeli’s grandmother?’ She keeps every single article on me,” she added.

And, I can’t help saying the following: She’s Jewish! Mazel tov, Bar.
