英国著名的性感影星兼模特丽兹·赫莉曾以她那魔鬼般的身材和大胆的穿衣风格令世界为之倾倒。但随着时光的流逝，这位现年40岁的美人也开始变得对自己的身材不那么自信了。日前，她在接受媒体采访时表示，自己穿着比基尼的好日子已经结束。

    据英国《每日邮报》10月30日报道，赫莉是在接受英国《简单生活》杂志（Easy Living）采访时，表示要和最能衬托女人性感身材的比基尼“说再见”的，甚至连那些她自己设计的比基尼服装也包括在内。赫莉坦白承认，当她照镜子时看到的是“一个整日被垃圾食品包围且缺乏锻炼的女人”。

    她说：“在过去一年中，这已不幸成为了我的真实现状。”

    日前，赫莉的游泳衣正在伦敦知名的哈洛兹百货公司出售。对此，赫莉表示：“我不会再穿着毛巾布的迷你短裙、比基尼上衣和夹脚拖鞋了，这些日子已经结束了。”“我不会再穿着暴露的比基尼在小艇上享用午餐了。这样做不能再使我感到舒服和惬意。”

    报道说，赫莉1994年出席影片《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》首映式时，以一袭到处开缝、仅靠别针固定的暴露晚装一举进入了娱乐圈的视线，从而也成为了让天下女人迷恋甚至是嫉妒的对象。

    然而，随着时光的无情流逝，这位昔日的大美人也已年过40。在采访中她更是坦白承认，对于自己的外表，不像以前那么有信心了。她说：“随着时间一天天过去，你确实会感到对自己的身体不再那么自信了。我知道，这话出自一个常常身着暴露的比基尼服装拍摄大幅照片的女人，可能会让人听起来感觉有些奇怪，但是当我在为拍摄这些照片而摆姿势的时候，我确实感觉有些尴尬不适。而且，这些照片都是经过润色修整的。”

    赫莉还说：“最近，我听说一位名人每天花在自己身上的时间长达6个小时，而我每个星期花费的时间才差不多6分钟而已。”

    在采访过程中，赫莉还向人们揭示了她的日常生活状态，她说：“两年来，我几乎没做过什么运动，而且我还以薯片和咖啡度日。”“另外，我还喜欢吃香肠，我每天都想吃。”针对这种情况，赫莉也表示，她会努力改善自己的形象，争取让身材变得更纤瘦、更性感，同时精神上也更加纯洁。

    报道说，赫莉与她的前任情人、电影制片人史蒂夫·宾生有一个男孩，名叫达米安，现在已经3岁了。目前，她和印度籍富翁男友阿伦·纳亚尔居住在英国格罗斯特郡一幢价值250万英镑的豪宅中。而关于这次采访的详细内容，将被刊登在11月3日出版的《简单生活》杂志上。

    She is famous the world over for her stunning curves and the daring outfits she wears to show them off.

    But at the age of 40, Liz Hurley is turning her back on the bikini - even the ones she has designed herself.

    In a frank interview, the actress reveals that when she looks in the mirror she sees "a person who eats too much junk food and doesn't exercise. That has sadly become my reality over the past year".

    And the world-famous model, whose swimwear is on sale at Harrods, says: "I wouldn't wear the towelling miniskirt, bikini top and flip-flops - those days are over.

    "I'm never again going to sit eating lunch on a boat in just a skimpy bikini. I don't feel comfortable doing that any more."

    Miss Hurley's figure has been a subject of fascination - and envy - among women since her appearance in 'that' dress at the Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere in 1994.

    Yet now she confesses to feeling much less assured about her looks. She says: "As the years go by you do feel less confident about your body. I know that sounds bizarre coming from a woman who's photographed half-naked in bikinis, but I feel selfconscious posing for those pictures and they're all retouched anyway."

    Miss Hurley, who has a three-yearold son, Damian, from her former lover, film producer Steve Bing, admits: "I recently heard that a well known celebrity spends six hours a day on herself. I spend more like six minutes a week."

    In the interview with Easy Living magazine, she says: "For two years I've done almost no exercise and I've been surviving on crisps and coffee." And she adds: "I'm obsessed with sausages - I'd like to eat them every day."

    Miss Hurley, who lives with partner Arun Nayar on a ?2.5million Gloucestershire estate, also admits she wants another child. She says she is determined to improve her appearance and promises: "I shall go to ground and annoy everyone by emerging thinner, sexier and mentally cleansed."
