Rio De Janeiro, June 13: Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has been filming a commercial on Ipanema beach. Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, known simply as Gisele, spent the week filming a commercial on two Brazilian beaches. On Monday (June 2), she filmed at world-famous Ipanema beach while on Tuesday (June 3), she was at Leme beach, both in her native country. "Gisele is very charming," said the director of the commercial Andrucha Waddington. "It's a pleasure for the city to have her visit. She is a potency of a woman and it's marvelous working with her." Grendene's advertising campaigns have featured numerous national and international stars including Falcao, Romario and supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Gisele was born July 20, 1980, in Horizontina, Brazil and was discovered by New York's Elite model agency as she walked through a local shopping center.


The commercial, for Brazil's largest shoe manufacturer Grendene, the company that introduced "jellies" to the international scene, was for a line of shoes set to hit the market next season.
