The global financial crisis has hit Gisele Bundchen’s pay packet, with the Brazilian supermodel raking in just $25 million this year – down $10 million from 2008, says Forbes magazine.

Still, it was more than enough for the publication to name her the world’s top-earning model for the third year in a row.

Bundchen, married to NBA football star Tom Brady, models for Versace, Dior, True Religion jeans and Ebel watches.

Heidi Klum finished in second place with $16 million but she earned $2 million more than the previous year. Klum is host on Germany’s Next Top Model and Project Runway and is a model for Victoria’s Secret. She also promotes Diet Coke, Volkswagen and LG.

Kate Moss has kept third place, with $8.5 million, earning $1 million more than the year before.

Completing the top five are Adriana Lima, who last week announced her pregnancy to basketball star Marko Jaric, and Doutzen Kroes. This makes the leaders the same as last year.

Australia’s Miranda Kerr rose from 10th to ninth place this year. She earned $3 million after landing several deals, including Victoria’s Secret.

The full list: 1. Gisele Bundchen – $25 million; 2. Heidi Klum – $US16 million; 3. Kate Moss – $US8.5 million; 4. Adriana Lima – $US8 million; 5. Doutzen Kroes – $US6 million; 6. Alessandra Ambrosio – $US6 million; 7. Natalia Vodianova – $US5.5 million; 8. Daria Werbowy – $US4.5 million; 9. Miranda Kerr – $US3 million; 10. Carolyn Murphy – $US3 million

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has admitted filming a sex scene is “not in the least bit exciting”.

The 19-year-old actor, famous for playing the lead role in the boy-wizard films, lost his on-screen virginity when he was 16 with co-star Teresa Palmer in the film December Boys.

He said: “Whenever you watch those scenes in films, you always think: ‘That must be so sexy to do and wouldn’t that be amazing. You wonder how those actors manage to control themselves.’”

He added: “But when you’re doing it and you’ve got people watching you, there is nothing sexy about it at all.

“It is not in the least bit exciting, no matter how beautiful the girl is.”
