"I found this doctor in my hometown [of Erechim] in Brazil who had only done it once before, so I was his guinea pig." Unfortunately, it didn't all go as planned.

They're in Rio de Janeiro to co-host NBC's late-night coverage of the Olympic Games with Ryan Seacrest. So Brazilian beauties Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima are clearly cramming in plenty of fun before proceedings begin - as their Instagram posts showed this week. The pair posed up a storm in a series of photos from an NBC shoot at the remote Praia Vermelha, showcasing their impressive figures. In the first of the shots, the duo could be seen making beach ball look sexy as they took a break between games. Holding their rackets while leaning against one another, the two ladies oozed glamour, even though they were dressed so casually. Alessandra, 35, sported a pair of low-rise baggy trousers with a skimpy bra top, which deftly displayed her taut abs and pert bosoms, while Adriana, also 35, showcased her perfect pins in a pair of hotpants.  Together, the Victoria's Secret models, who both hail from Brazil, showed off their immaculate summer style with ease. But it wasn't all posturing for the lens - the women also undertook some strenuous physical activity, which included Brazilian martial art capoeira.  Flanked by an impressive backdrop, the image generated plenty of 'likes' by her numerous followers - who appreciated the view for every possible beauty aspect.   As if that wasn't envy-inducing enough, she later teased fans with a selfie of herself in a pink, patterned bikini which she captioned: 'Mermaids do it better #foreveronvacation'. Although, it isn't all play for the brunette beauty - she's also on mummy duty as her family are with her on the trip.   Pictured in a horizontally-striped jumper dress, the mum-of-two could later be seen getting her little ones to follow in her footsteps - by modeling for the family camera on the balcony of their apartment.  She was seen playfully getting her kids Anja and Noah to pose as she snapped pics on her smart phone camera.

Luis said seeing her father with MS was an eye-opener for his daughter who now takes her and her family’s health very seriously 'Alessandra has now given up smoking for the sake of her kids,' he said 'She used to have the odd cigarette but now she doesn’t.' He added that he hopes mom-of-two Ambrosio will have more children 'Alessandra has always said she wants four or five children so we’re hoping she has more but she isn’t pregnant at the moment,’ he gushed Blaming his daughter’s stratospheric career for a lull in new grandchildren 'Her sister is trying to have more children but not Alessandra Luis remembers his daughter being ‘gifted’ from a young age growing up in Erechim and her potential as a model was clear to see But he recalls how the young girl always wanted to be a doctor not a model Ambrosio didn’t have the confidence in her looks because of her ‘jug ears’ 'When she was younger she never said she wanted to be a model it was always about being a doctor,’ he said 'She had an operation to pin them back and there was a complication which made her quite ill 'Ultimately though it helped give her the confidence to be a model.’ Ambrosio herself has in the past told of how she is 'freaked out' by cosmetic surgery after the botched ear pinning procedure left her in severe pain In December, 2013 she revealed to Net-A-Porter's The Edit that she went under the knife at the age of 11 because she didn't like the way her ears 'stuck out'. However, the doctor who she found in her hometown had only carried out the surgery once before and the second attempt did not go as planned. 'I was a guinea pig. The first few nights, it felt like someone had cut off my ears,’ she recalled. Despite several follow-up mini-surgeries to correct the problem Ambrosio went on to begin her professional modeling career age 15. 'She seemed to have a gift when she was younger,’ Luis recalls 'At the local carnival she was always picked to be carnival queen because of her looks. 'She was popular with guys but was too busy for a boyfriend back then.' Ambrosio’s former teacher Dirce Kozak also recalls the young girls ambition to break in to the medical world before her dreams of modeling took hold. 'She was a very clever little girl, very talkative too,' said Kozak. 'I remember her wanting to be a doctor and she was bright enough to fulfill that, if she had wanted to. 'She was a leader, too. If we ever had any group activities she would always take charge and be the one in control. 'She had a lot of self-confidence back then. Her sister Aline was much more quiet than her.' She added: 'I taught her basic writing and math. She was a happy kid, she loved to learn. Never in a million years would I have expected her to go on and be a supermodel.' Kozak, now 55, also taught her to dance in a Polish music and dance group called Jupem, still based in Erechim. 'There is a lot of Polish ancestry in the area and Jupem was created to give the children a chance to appreciate that,' she explained.  'Alessandra’s parents wanted her to make more friends, too, so she joined the group and took to it straight away. Mauricio Anony, present head teacher at the school, Collegio Marista, proudly showed off Alessandra’s report card and attendance records to Daily Mail Online. 'I wasn’t at the school when she was a pupil but she is remembered very fondly,’ the teacher said. 'Her grades show she was a good student. We are all very proud of her at the school. 'The present pupils appreciate she was a former student and she is definitely an example of hard work making success happen. 'She’s been invited back here to speak to the children and we hope it’s going to happen the next time she visits home.' There are not many people in this small Brazilian town who don’t have praise for the successful model. A former neighbor remembers how the caring star would read to her two grandchildren to comfort them after their mother was killed in a terrible car accident. The supermodel shares the same birthday as her one-time neighbor, Persiolina Bartmar, 79, and still calls her each year on their big day to wish her well. Mrs Bartmar recalls how Ambrosio was a pretty teenager when she would read to her grandchildren Nicole, then aged three, and Victoria, eight months. In 1994 their mother, Mara Alves Bartmar, died aged 26 in a car accident in Erechim. Fighting back tears while looking at a treasured photo of her late daughter, Mrs Bartmar said: 'It was a terrible time, of course, when my daughter died. 'But Alessandra wanted to help however she could. She was a little angel, a sweetheart, such as pretty little girl. 'She was just a young girl when the accident happened. She would come to the house and read comic books to the girls, entertaining them with funny voices and stories. 'It took their minds off what had happened. It was such a kind act. I’ll always be thankful for it and I will never forget it. It was such a help at the time.  'Even now my granddaughters remember her kindness. They like to tell their friends how Alessandra is more than a Victoria’s Secret angel.' She added: 'Alessandra moved away when she was young to start modeling. But by coincidence our birthdays are on the same date, April 11. 'She has called me almost every year since to wish me well. It always amazes me and I am so happy that she remembers. 'She asks me how I am and how my granddaughters are doing. I always ask her how her own children are.’ Visits back to Erechim are rare these days due to Ambrosio’s busy schedule. Her father Luis said the model came back last Christmas and wanted to come for Easter but work got in the way. 'She’s still very normal when she comes back to Erechim,' her father said. 'She has the same group of friends she hangs out with. 'They all come over to the house and spend the day just talking and laughing. Most of them are married now with kids, some are doctors and nurses. 'Alessandra loves to go to the coast when she is back to surf, too. She still has six or seven boards in Florianopolis on the coast where she has a home. She is a great surfer. 'If she could ever have surfed professionally, I am sure she would have.' Luis said Alessandra may not be able to attend this summer’s Olympics in Rio because her close friend, fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros, is getting married at a secret location. 'Alessandra is due to be a bridesmaid at Beatriz’s wedding,' Luis revealed. I know it is happening around the time of the Olympics so I am not sure if she will be able to attend the games or not. 'The Zika virus here in Brazil worries her of course but she says it won’t stop her visiting Brazil when she can.' As for his beloved daughter making a permanent switch back to her homeland, Luis is doubtful. 'I don’t think she will ever move back to Brazil because America is her home now. She has her house there and Jamie, her husband, is a great guy. 'My wife and I will travel to see them and the kids whenever we can and I know she will visit us, too. 'I’m lucky my family has been there to support me and get back to health.'
