Cindy Crawford doesn't believe she would make it as a supermodel if she launched her career today.

The 43-year-old beauty - who was one of the 90s supermodels - believes her naturally curvy figure would look out of place on today's catwalks because the majority girls are so thin.

She said: "In the year 2009 I wouldn't have become a supermodel. I look too healthy. There's one trend after the other. My body with this big bust, normal thighs and toned arms wouldn't be one of it these days."

A lot of today's models are a US size 0 while Cindy is a US size 6.

In the year 2009 I wouldn't have become a supermodel. I look too healthy. There's one trend after the other. My body with this big bust, normal thighs and toned arms wouldn't be one of it these days.

The mother-of-two also says she is embracing being older because she doesn't have to rely so much on her looks.

She told Germany's Bunte magazine: "Of course I don't like how my skin gets saggy and that I get more wrinkles, but I do like being in my 40s. You find yourself and you know what you're able of - apart from being pretty."

Cindy recently revealed she quit modelling because she was scared of being compared to younger women.

She explained: "I'm more comfortable with myself in the sense that hey, this is who I am now. I guess I appreciate my body for other things - like I was able to give birth to two kids.

"But at the same time, I am aware my body doesn't look the same way it did when I was 23. I actually don't want to feel that pressure.

"I don't want to stand next to a 20-year-old on the runway, even if people say you can still do it. It is like, 'Why would I do that to myself?' It would just make me depressed."
