To top the year off, Lima will wear the "Fantasy Bra" for the 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, In early 2008 Lima renewed her contract with Victoria's Secret, along with Maybelline for 5 more years.

Acting

Lima has always had an interest in acting, but knows she has to study quite a bit before booking any major spots. She plans to take lessons and act full time after her modeling contracts are up, several years from now.

Her first acting role was the wife, alongside Mickey Rourke, Forest Whitaker in The Follow, one of BMW's short films series titled The Hire, starring Clive Owen. Lima then appeared with her fellow angels in a guest spot playing herself in the series How I Met Your Mother in November of 2007.

In 2008, Lima will make her second television acting appearance, appearing on the American television series "Ugly Betty," where she will play herself and make friends with the series' title character, played by America Ferrera. According to her publicist, Liza Anderson, "Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance."

Personal Life

Lima is fluent in Portuguese, English, and French, and also speaks a bit of Italian. In her free time, she loves reading novels by her favorite author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Although she has appeared in a few commercials with cars, she has admitted that she has yet to learn how to drive and receive her driver's license.

Lima was shy around boys when she was younger, not receiving her first kiss until she was 17 years old. They were watching a movie during the kiss. Afterwards, he went directly to her mother to ask if he could marry her. In an interview with GQ in the April 2006 issue, Lima told the magazine that she is a devoted Catholic who attends church every Sunday and is a virgin.

She works out regularly. She jumps rope, does cardio, and has a custom-tailored boxing routine.

Lima revealed that her father walked out on her family when she was six months old, but has been making recent attempts to reconcile. In late 2007, Lima revealed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that although she is her mother's only child, she has two half brothers, aged 7 and 11, from her father's second marriage. Coming from a poor family, her first time leaving her country and first time on a plane was when she was 15. She was raised mainly by her mother and grandmother.

Lima never thought about being a model. However, she had a friend at school who wanted to enter a modeling contest and didn't want to enter alone, so Lima entered with her.

Adriana Lima Is No Longer a Virgin ?????
hot supermodel from Brazil, Adriana Lima, the supersexy, this Brazilian supermodel still insists she's a virgin. Not wanting to be the people to doubt her good, angelic nature but Adriana has been together for more than 6 months now with the Minnesota Timberwolves Serbian star Marko Jaric and now engagement rumors are starting to pop up. Can there really be a ring without at least some hanky-panky? a kind of test drive before actually buying the car, lol.

Adriana Lima Goes Nude and Tropical

You can tell that summer is in the air, all magazines are shedding their clothes and turning a hopeful eye towards the beach as the spring break draws ever closer. And if you have mostly male readers then the perfect idea for a cover is to take one of the most beautiful women of the moment,

strip her of all inhibitions and clothes and place her on a beach (the more tropical the better). Case in point: the March issue of GQ magazine, which features the stunning Adriana Lima.

The pictorial exploits the whole "stranded on a deserted island" concept but adds one pinch of salt, hot lady on hot beach, sexy cat in heat.

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima who is mostly naked, the only thing separating our eyes from her... feminine charms being just an evil-evil palm tree leaf, strategically placed by the photographers.

Adriana Lima seems to be a good omen for the spring - if this is a sign of things to come, we'll all head to the beach in a hurry.

GQ definitely hit the jackpot with this one, kudos for that, since Adriana is now the only Brazilian hottie to strut her stuff on the catwalk. Her only viable competitor, Alessandra Ambrosio took some time off from modeling and generally looking drop-dead gorgeous (thus becoming the object of affection for millions of men around the Globe and the object of admiration for millions of women) to become a mother.

That leaves Adriana as the main apple of our eye(s) for at least nine months while Alessandra is pregnant. Her first feat? The annual Love, Sex and Madness issue for GQ - feast your eye on these hot supermodel.
