Former supermodel Iman has revealed that she was under 18 but lied about her age to get a passport for her US visit.
The Somali-born beauty, who is married to musician David Bowie, said she lied and said she was 19.
"I was under 18, and to leave Kenya to come to the United States, to get a passport, you had to be 18," she told the New York magazine.
"So I lied and said I was 19 to get the passport, because (otherwise) I had to have permission from my parents, and my parents would never have let me come."
The former model was studying at Nairobi University, so figuring that her parents would never realize she'd gone, she popped over to New York.
"I didn't tell anybody, but I thought I'd see it, feel it. You know how they found out? I was in Newsweek a week later. It's the only magazine my father reads, and the next thing, he's reading, and there's a picture of me in New York, (saying,) 'She's the hottest model now.'
"I broke the law! But nobody can touch me now, I'm 60 years old, it's too late. The time has passed.
