Helena Christensen’s drugs admission

June 2nd, 2006

Supermodel Helena Christensen has admitted to taking drugs. The 37-year-old - who once dated INXS star Michael Hutchence - says she often smoked cannabis and was not afraid to indulge in the recreational substance. She said: “I wouldn’t say no if somebody passed me a joint.” However, Christensen insists she is not like other models who have experimented with harder drugs, including Kate Moss who was captured on film snorting cocaine last year. The catwalk beauty claims many models are attracted to the apparent glamour of Class A narcotics but she was never tempted because of her strict upbringing. She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “It was never a problem for me. I was brought up with a lot of discipline so I wasn’t attracted to it. But there were a lot of young, beautiful girls on the party scene, with a lot of drugs around. I’m not a saint, but drugs were never my thing.”
