Helena Christensen, 56, strips to green swimsuit as she breaks a hole through ice before taking a dip in frozen water

MODEL Helena Christensen is perfectly chilled, after taking a dip in frozen water.

The Dane, 56, posted a video on Instagram showing her breaking a hole through the ice then lowering herself into the water.

She captioned it “slippery when wet”.

Cold plunges are said to help reduce inflammation and muscle pain and improve the immune system and sleep.

In 2023, Helena said of her career: “I figured I can model for a little bit to travel the world and bring my camera to take photos and just explore and discover.

“The funny part of it is, to me, the modelling for many years was about a great opportunity to learn about photography.”

The model also confessed that she used to buy and wear used men’s underpants.

The brunette said: “I didn’t have fashion magazines, but as a teenager one of my favourite stores was a secondhand one.

“I would buy men’s underwear and ballgowns and pair them together. That was my look, it was funny.

“I feel so much joy going into a little store and looking through all these pieces that belonged to somebody else, perhaps many, many decades ago."
