‘I like video games and used to constantly sit hunched over the computer. But my mother also instilled a lot in me regarding self-confidence.’

Heidi added: ‘I’m a positive person. I believe you can work on your attitude towards yourself and life.

‘Sure, I sometimes doubt myself and don’t like myself. But I know how to get back to positive energy.’

‘At the beginning of my career, I modelled for a bridal magazine. The photographer told me I had a terrible laugh. He yelled at me.

‘I started to cry. But instead of giving up, I sat in front of the mirror and practiced laughing. And today, people associate my laugh with me.’

While walking the red carpet at the American Music Awards in May, Heidi and Henry opened up about their close bond and potentially working together in the future.

Henry praised his parents for being an ‘inspiration’ to him.

‘Anything that I do, [my parents are] always so supportive,’ he told Daily Mail.

This is the first time Heidi and Henry have posed for a shoot together, after being unveiled as the faces of the brand Aigner

Heidi has also appeared in a string of campaigns with her daughter Leni, with the pair brushed off previous comments that labeled their joint lingerie shoots as ‘inappropriate.’

The TV personality and her daughter donned nude-colored, cashmere knitwear for the Intimissimi campaign together at the time.

Klum told People earlier this year in July, ‘A lot of people are like, “Oh, I don’t know about mom and daughter doing this together.” But for us? I’m proud of my daughter. She’s fine with me like that.’

She further explained to the outlet, ‘I’ve always been very open with my body. When I’m suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on.

‘I’m European …my kids don’t know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it.’

When it comes to body confidence, the blonde beauty expressed, ‘People always say, “You probably got more confidence as you’ve gotten older,” but I have always been confident.

‘I have no problem walking around in my underwear. I’m not hiding in a corner.’
