Pyper America Smith Was Surprised By Brother Lucky's Success

Pyper America Smith is part of a famous family of models and musicians and she’s opening up about her life and upbringing for Marie Claire UK‘s September 2017 issue.

Here’s what the 20-year-old model had to share:

On her brother Lucky Blue Smith’s success as a model: “In the beginning, when he got into modelling, we were like, ‘What is going on? You’re this nerdy, funny-looking kid!’”

On her faith and Mormon upbringing: “Growing up in the [Mormon] Church and community in Utah has built me up into this person who can [deal with a place like] LA, which is so busy and crazy. If I need time to reflect, I have this huge part of me that I just hold on to. It’s kind of like my rock.”

On her closeness to her siblings: “You know how twins have that sense when they know their twin is in trouble? I feel that with all my siblings. I know how they’re breathing; how they’re thinking.”
