Move over, John McEnroe—there’s a brand-new storyteller holding court.
If you have not currently binged all of Never Have I Ever‘s recently launched 2nd season, well, you remain in for a reward due to the fact that the 3rd episode includes a brand-new, yet familiar voice moving the story along: Gigi Hadid.
For one episode, the supermodel took control of telling tasks from the tennis pro and focused on Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet). “This is Paxton Hall-Yoshida. He’s a 16-year-old boy from Sherman Oaks, California,” Hadid’s narrative presented the episode, “and I am model, designer, activist and a former 16-year-old from California, Gigi Hadid.”
“You may be asking yourself,” she continued, “‘Why is old Gigers taking time out of her busy skedge to narrate the story of a 16-year-old boy? Believe it or not—I relate to this kid. We’re both constantly underestimated because people only see us as sex symbols.”
Clearly, Hadid had no concern satirizing Paxton and herself. “When scientists declare your face to be perfectly symmetrical, that’s all everyone thinks you have to offer the world,” the 26-year-old stated, “but we’ve got brains, too, and feelings and—Paxton, dude, put a shirt on. I’m trying to make a point here. Anyway, we have so much more going on inside. At least that’s true for me. We’ll see what happens with Paxton.”
