She looks good for 57. I would do her.
The 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue is scheduled to hit newsstands on July 19
At 5-feet-3-inches, 57-year-old Kathy Jacobs is proudly the "oldest and shortest" Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie in the brand’s history.
Jacobs, who was a petite model in the ‘80s, came to an open casting call for SI Swimsuit at age 56. She went on to make her debut as part of the 2020 model search. The star will be part of this year’s sizzling issue, which will hit newsstands on July 19. On Saturday, Jacobs will join several SI Swimsuit stars for PARAISO Miami Beach Swim Week 2021 where they will make a splash on the runway at Mondrian Hotel South Beach’s Baia Beach Club.
Jacobs spoke to Fox News about appearing in this year’s issue, how she physically prepared for her close-up, as well as some of the most memorable messages she has received from men and women.
Fox News: How does it feel to be featured in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue?
Kathy Jacobs: It’s a dream come true. It doesn’t even feel real. I’m going to believe it when I actually see the photos in the magazine *laughs*. That’s when it’s really going to hit me. But I’m happy. I haven’t stopped smiling.
Fox News: And you’re a rookie.
Jacobs: And I’m the oldest rookie ever, which makes it even more exciting.
Fox News: We haven’t seen your new photos yet, but take us back to the shoot. What was that experience like for you?
Jacobs: I felt a crazy mixture of emotions. For one, I was super grateful. I was super excited. But I was also really nervous. I hardly had any sleep the night before. I was just too excited – and nervous – about the next day. I got up before the sun came up and went to get my hair and makeup done. I had a really big breakfast so I wouldn’t get cranky *laughs*. But when that first shot happened, I was pretty scared. I just kept thinking to myself, "Oh my God." Because it wasn’t just me. There was this whole crew. So I was pretty nervous.
