When Agdal was 15, she was discovered while walking down the street in her hometown, Hillerød, to attend Elite Model Look, an annual competition, she shared with Fox News. She didn’t win, but landed a contract with Elite Models Copenhagen, she said in an interview with Daily Front Row.

After finishing school at 18, she flew to Miami to pursue a modelling career with limited English and practically empty pockets. “English was my worst subject in school. I was very shy about saying anything and was so scared. I landed with US$40 and a little piece of paper with the address for the model apartment,” she told Maxim for her 2017 cover shoot.

Agdal is a gym bunny who has spent “way too much” time on working out, as she revealed with Ishonest. “I think I enjoy it so much that I want to work out every day. I make sure to do one hour – at least – a day. Sometimes I’ll do two or three. So, about a total of about 20 hours per week,” she said, adding that although she “loved” boxing she also “mixed it up” to do a lot of SLT (Pilates and strength training), Y7 yoga, Tone House, SoulCycle, boot camps – basically, “everything”.

Agdal has even turned her hobby into a business. She launched The Agdal Method in 2020, an app to share her fitness and nutrition tips to stay fit. “I wanted to create The Agdal Method to start spreading the word that it’s not about how long you spend in the gym, going to a workout for 60 minutes and torturing yourself, or only drinking green juices and eating lettuce,” she told W Magazine. “What’s going on in your personal life, and your relationships, your finances, has to do with what’s going on your plate and how much exercise you’re getting in on a weekly basis.”

She doesn’t like heels

It may be hard to believe, but the supermodel has admitted that she prefers trainers to heels. “I just don’t love wearing heels. I feel it’s just a thing you have to do to keep it sexy or whatever, but I really don’t enjoy it. I just love wearing a sneaker,” she told the New York Post. A quick glance at her Instagram feed and even some red carpet appearances will confirm that the model does indeed practice what she preaches.

Confidence is her “weapon”

What is Agdal’s secret to attracting enviable romantic partners? Confidence. “Just be confident in who you are when you walk into a room, feel like you own it,” she told AskMen.

It’s also the first thing she looks for from a man. “I love a confident guy,” she said, adding, “and a guy that makes me laugh and who is a little hard to get. Don’t be too easy.”
