Bar Refaeli HQ Pictures and Biograpy:

Bar Refaeli was born on June 4, 1985, in a rural region of Israel. She was raised on a horse ranch, but her countryside origins never inhibited her ambitions. She started modeling before she could even walk and talk. At 8 months old, Bar Refaeli was already doing commercials.

After starting her career before she was even 1 year old, Bar Refaeli had to undergo that traumatic experience that every child fears: getting braces. Of course, getting braces quickly derailed her modeling career. So, for over three years, Bar Refaeli resorted back to her normal life — a life devoid of modeling.

When the braces came off in 1997, however, Bar Refaeli wasted no time getting right back into the industry. At the tender age of 11, she burst back onto the modeling scene and has been there ever since. She then appeared in numerous advertisements and infomercials in Israel.

The turn of the century marked a sign of good things to come for the Israeli vixen. In 2000, she won the title of Model of the Year in a beauty contest, and in 2001, she won her title yet again, as her beauty and modeling talents couldn’t be denied. In 2002 and 2003, she was chosen to be the home model of the Renuar fashion network. Additionally, Bar Refaeli was selected for an international fashion production and appeared in the French ELLE magazine.

It was during her rise to prominence that she attained gigs with GQ and Ralph Lauren. However, Bar Refaeli claimed that it was the editorial section in an issue of ELLE France that cemented her celebrity. The editorial section attached her name with the face that so many people were becoming accustomed to seeing, and once her name was attached a celebrity was born.

little known name until she began dating one of Hollywood’s hotties, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bar Refaeli, was born on June 4th 1985 in the countryside of Israel where her parents, Israeli Jews, had a horse ranch. Her mother, Tsipi Refaeli, encouraged Bar to model right from the age of eight months old when she appeared in commercials even before she could talk, never mind grace a catwalk with her sultry moves.

Apparently, when Bar was twelve years old she had to wear braces on her teeth for three years and couldn’t work as a model but as soon as she had them removed she went straight to a modeling agency in Israel and immediately started working.

Although born in Israel Bar speaks both English and Hebrew and travels the world in her capacity as a supermodel.

During her modeling career she has become known as a photographic model and has appeared in fashion catalogues, among them “Castro”, “Pilpel”, and also starred in a commercial for the product called “Milki”.

In 2000 and again in 2001 Bar won the title “Model of the year” in a beauty contest in.

Bar Refaeli is the first Israeli model ever to be featured in Sports Illustrated magazine and she is in good company with Elle MacPherson, Kathy Ireland and Heidi Klum.

With her light blonde hair, her blue eyes and her Twiggy-like figure, Bar seems to have beguiled one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, Leonardo DiCaprio, to such an extent that he recently visited her at her parent’s home in the upscale suburb of Tel Aviv, Hod Hasharon.

After his split with another supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, Leonardo DiCaprio, who sprang to fame in Titanic with Kate Winslet, was up for grabs and the beautiful Israeli model was in the right place at the right time when the couple met at a party in Las Vegas

While in Israel the couple came under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi which lit DiCaprio’s fuse and caused him to get into scuffles with the press and photographers in a bid to gain some privacy for himself and his girlfriend, Bar.

Apparently the couple met prior to DiCaprio’s filming of The Departed with Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg and Jack Nicholson. During his filming of Blood Diamond in Sierra Leone with Djimon Hounsou and Jennifer Connelly.

In 2007, Refaeli became a source of controversy when it became known that she had evaded military service, mandatory for Israeli citizens over 18-years-old, by marrying a family acquaintance and divorcing him soon after. Refaeli stated in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, “I really wanted to serve in the IDF. But I don’t regret not enlisting, because it paid off big-time,” further adding, “Why is it good to die for our country? What, isn’t it better to live in New York?” Refaeli has since said the interview didn’t accurately reflect her statements and threatened to file a lawsuit for libel.

Meanwhile Bar continiues to date DiCaprio but does this beautiful supermodel have what it takes to tame one of Hollywood’s most sought after bachelors?
