Gisele Bündchen’s identify isn’t pronounced the way you suppose…
In a resurfaced interview with Conan O’Brien from 2005, the Brazilian mannequin revealed that Individuals have really been mispronouncing her identify since her early days right here within the states! She defined:
“My identify in Portuguese is spelled G-i-s-e-l-e, but it surely’s [Gisele-y]. We are saying [Gisele-y] in Portuguese as a result of we are saying ‘I’ on the finish of the ‘L.’ Right here, you eat the ‘I,’ you recognize, you solely say Gisele. That is the American method, I assume.”
WHAAAAT?! We’ve been saying her identify incorrect this complete time?! Poor woman!!
