Even though she's a model, Brooklyn Decker admits that she's really 'such a tomboy.'
Theres much more to Brooklyn Decker than meets the eye.
The model, 25, next stars in the action flick Battleship opposite Rihanna and Alexander Skarsgard, but her goals extend well beyond the silver screen.
I want to adopt a child or a baby with an intellectual disability one day, Decker told Canadian magazine Flare. I mean, thats in the distant future, but thats always been a goal of mind.
Decker married tennis star Andy Roddick in 2009, and has since expressed her interest in expanding her brood.
I want to live a normal life - drive my kids to school, have tons of animals running around, be barefoot and pregnant, she told Women's Health in 2010.
Decker credits her aunt, a Special Olympics athlete, as the inspiration behind her desire to adopt a special-needs child.
Unfortunately, a lot of kids with intellectual disabilities are given up for adoption when theyre born cause its a lot for a family, she explained to Flare.
The actress also revealed to the gossip site FabSugar that although she is best known for donning a bright yellow bikini on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, she actually doesnt like flaunting her figure.
The biggest thing is finding that balance between masculine and feminine, she told the site. Because Im such a tomboy, I hate showing off my body.
(My stylist) is always like You have to show your figure.
