Irina Shayk admires Bradley Cooper for being sober

Asked about the best advice she has ever received, the 29-year-old beauty said: "Actually, I remember my mom told me never to date a guy who smokes or drinks. My father played hockey and boxed, and my mom loved the fact he was really healthy."

Four-time Oscar nominee Bradley, 40, previously admitted he made a decision to stop drinking and using drugs in 2004 because they were holding him back from achieving his dreams.

Meanwhile, Irina insists she is "low-maintenance" when it comes to relationships.

She said: "A cute card is always nice. I may be Russian, but I'm low-maintenance."

But the Sports Illustrated star tries to get as much sleep as possible to maintain her good looks.

She said: "The best trick make-up trick is to get a lot of sleep - like, 12 hours.

"When I don't sleep enough, I get cranky and crazy."

Irina claims she used to get bullied for her looks when she was younger.

She explained to US' OK! magazine: "When I was young guys actually made fun of me. I was tall and had darker skin and bigger lips, and they called me 'Stick' because I wore high heels. I would wear skirts - never pants - to school, and they were like, 'Oh, look, Stick is walking around with her high heels!' Yeah, that was sad."
