Elle Macpherson's Jaw-Dropping Comeback: From Catwalk Queen to Sober Superstar

The Australian supermodel who sizzled on catwalks in the 1980s has stunned fans with a new chapter in her life - as an author! The ageless Elle Macpherson, now 61, has wowed the crowd at a "Super Women" breakfast event in London to promote her highly anticipated memoir, "Elle: Life, Lessons & Learning to Trust Yourself."

The Sydney-born fashionista looked stunning in cream slacks and a matching low-cut top, paired with an elegant overcoat that left onlookers wondering how she managed to defy time. Her long tresses fell effortlessly over her shoulders as she accessorized with an elaborate silver necklace.

But the real highlight of the event was Elle's insightful talk about her wellness philosophy, which she shared through a gallery of images and a video Q&A session. The leggy runway star took no prisoners, opening up about her struggles with addiction and her journey to getting sober.

The Truth About Her Modeling Days

In an explosive revelation, Elle confessed to using cocaine during her modeling years in the late 1990s. In a candid interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, she revealed that she would frequently get blackout drunk and drink shots of vodka after putting her sons Cy and Flynn to bed.

But what's even more shocking is that she used cocaine for weight loss - an astonishing admission that has left fans reeling. "I've done that!" she confessed, with radio host Kyle Sandilands nodding in agreement.

The Dark Side of Her Modeling Years

In her memoir, Elle lifts the lid on the depths of her addiction, revealing a life of secrecy and shame. She shared how she would drink shots at night while with her then-boyfriend Arpad 'Arki' Busson - the father of her children - all under the guise of a perfect life.

"I looked amazing to everybody," she wrote in her book. "On the outside I was doing a beautiful job, but deep down inside, I was really struggling."

The Road to Recovery

But what's truly remarkable is Elle's determination to get sober. In 2003, she kicked her addiction cold turkey and has since become an advocate for holistic healing methods.

When diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, Elle opted out of chemotherapy and instead turned to alternative therapies. "It wasn't like there was a one-size-fits-all golden bullet... that you could just take and say, 'Okay, this is going to guarantee upper wellness at the end of it,'" she explained.

"Sometimes it's a combination; it's not either-or, maybe it's a combination of things."
