the internet >> i thought, oh, that's a good picture. >> and now she's embracing her most age defying role of all time okay we can't wait any longer and neither can martha ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? >> ready hit it. >> introducing this year's "sports illustrated" swimsuit cover model, martha stewart. >> oh! >> what? >> seeing it for the very first time martha, what do you think? >> i like that picture >> i would think so. >> i would say love. do your want to come over and chat >> sure, i would love to i'm sort of shaking because, you know, it's odd to go to an island and then get changed into nine different bathing suits in one day in front of all those people and it turned out okay. >> it turned out more than okay. just back up a little bit. so "sports illustrated" calls you up and says, hey, we have an idea.

>> in november i said in the end of january, you have to be ready to pose for the cover of "sports illustrated. that was a kind of a request i had never had before to be on the cover at my age was a challenge. and i -- i think i met the challenge. >> in what way >> well, i didn't starve myself, but i didn't eat any bread or pasta for a couple months. i went to pilates every other day. and that was great i'm still going to pilates every other day because it's so great. and i live a clean life, anyway. good diet and good exercise and health and skin care and all of that stuff but it was kind of fun >> i imagine i mean, look, martha, this is incredible. >> come on >> i mean, they were prodding me and pinching me and pouring water over my head. >> yeah. what are some of the tricks and

stuff they do? >> there is no tricks, actually. no tricks. they tell you you look okay. i mean, that's nice. they sort of reinforce that it's okay to be doing what you're doing. >> you look incredible. >> thank you thank you. and it is -- for me, it is a testament to good living and i think that all of us should think about good living, successful living and not about aging. the whole aging thing is so boring >> hear hear >> you know what i mean? >> yes talk about that. that's important. >> well, i have a hospital called the center for living at mount sinai. i started this hospital with mount sinai, and it is all about growing old gracefully and we don't think about aging. we think about successful living. >> yes and we try to instill in people the desire to eat well, to exercise well, to have friends, to have pets, to do all the

things that make you happy as you get older. so that's what i'm all about my mom was my role model i posted a picture of her yesterday. after four kids she was still wearing a two piece bathing suit. >> now we know where you get the good genes >> so, you know, that's pretty fabulous she had two more after that. she was still wearing a two-piece bathing suit so my genes are good >> and you look good in jeans. >> i wear jeans all the time. >> but it had to be kind of surreal. i mean, to be the "sports illustrated" swimsuit models. >> you could be one. both of you could be >> maybe with some heavy, heavy retouching you are so -- i think a lot of people will be super inspired by this. >> i hope so i hope all women get it together women have gone through a tough time for the last ten years and recently with the pandemic and the me too movement and all of

that stuff, we have really sort of been battered around and taking care of the families, all the responsibility, working at home you know, it's been tough. i hope it does give people, women especially, an opportunity to revisit their lives and get with the picture. >> one thing that that picture shows me, it's beautiful but it also shows confidence i feel like confidence can come no matter how you actually physically look. but there is something about that that i feel like you have carried throughout your life that's not something you can just pick up like that. >> no. but i think you can instill it in children early on my dad was one of those people who, you know, you can do anything, martha just put your mind to it that was really great. go to the library and read and read and educate yourself. he didn't say get educated he said educate yourself and learn. and my early modeling career was really helpful i mean, i went on saturdays to

model, and then i started doing photography and television commercials. that put me through college. it paid for everything and it was very good to learn how to pose in front of the camera it was a nice job. >> right. >> and you went from 50 cents an hour baby-sitting to $50 an hour, you know, posing it was great. >> the other thing about you, martha, i was sitting here listening to you, you are so fearless someone says, you are 81 years old. how about you are going to be on "sports illustrated" in your swimming suit. you said, yes. a couple years ago you were like, i'll try online dating your answer is so often yes. other people might think, could i? i don't know. >> no, no, no. when you're through changing, you're through change is very good. allusion is very good. evolution is very good just trying new things being fearless is very good. don't be afraid. don't be afraid of anything. yeah. >> that feels good.
