Sporting a Jean Seberg-inspired cut, Norwegian model Merethe Hopland looks like a fresh, Nordic take on a young Charlize Theron. The 20-year-old signed with Marilyn Agency late last year, and is coming off a successful fall 2011 fashion week: Hopland scored a New York exclusive with Calvin Klein, and then booked the Chanel and Salvatore Ferragamo shows in Paris and Milan. As an encore, she appeared in the pages of V magazine, British Harper’s Bazaar, and German Vogue, as well as on the runway for the cruise 2011 Chanel show in Antibes. We checked in with the Leonardo DiCaprio-loving, snake-fearing beauty to discuss her idea of happiness, her biggest hopes for the future, and which particular food always leaves her bloated.
