“I hate small talk”: Emily Ratajkowski prefers deep conversations, adding that she’s an “active listener” but needs to “shut up a little more” for her podcast
Emily Ratajkowski doesn’t like false gossip.
The supermodel, who bagged her work with Viktor + Rolf Flowerbomb, told Elle magazine this weekend that she prefers deeper conversations.
“For better or for worse, I hate small talk,” the Vogue favorite told the fashion mag.
She added, “Whether I’m talking to you on the podcast, at a party, or over dinner, I’m just going to be a little curious!”
Emily, who is reportedly dating 39-year-old Eric Andre, is talking a lot about her new podcast, High/Low.

She also told Elle, “People are so interesting so I want to get to the heart of things…
“But the podcast also made me realize that I’m what they call an ‘active listener,’ which basically means I’m an interrupter.
“I’ll say ‘mm-hmm’ or ‘yes’ or I’ll tell my own story to show I’m listening or we’re on the same page.”
The runway princess then shared: “When I heard this on a podcast I realized that now that I have the mic I can learn to shut up a little bit more. That’s not a bad thing!’
She also told Elle that she applies the scent as a “last touch” when she’s getting ready.
The face of Viktor + Rolf Flowerbomb says the perfume “has a real power”.
And likes to spray it on as a “shot of self-confidence and glamour” before leaving the premises.
No small talk, thanks: “For better or for worse, I hate small talk,” the Vogue favorite told the fashion magazine. She added, “Whether I’m talking to you on the podcast, at a party, or over dinner, I’m just going to be a little curious!”
The 31-year-old model told Elle.com: “It’s the last touch before I walk out the door.
“I’m sure it’s not the right way, but I’m doing it because I think perfume is the last moment you do something for yourself before you walk out the door and meet other people.
“It’s that moment that I associate it with my looks and my mood. And Flowerbomb has real power. It’s a shot of confidence and glamour.”
Emily – who has son Sylvester, 23 months, with her ex Sebastian Bear-McClard, 42 – admitted she doesn’t like meeting people she considers her “heroes”.
But fashion designer Donatella Versace called the “exception” to the rule when she interviewed her on her podcast High/Low.
She said, “My experience, unfortunately, was, ‘Don’t meet your heroes.’ But I think she’s the exception. She tells it like it is.
