Org, that was way cute. I'm in a hurry, but I can translate it later.
It was actually kind of funny - the interviewer and Freja is related, they're like cousins, but they've never met. Tiny bit weird!

[sweetchild]

She should be over 1000 a long time ago! Am kind of a bit miffed that Vlada´s thread beat hers. Love Vlada still.

That Numero cover...................... let me look at that for a while..

[Mchunu]

*Naomi Campbell walk, Naomi Campbell walk* love the cover!

[AnaBGD]

Numero cover is stunning!
thanks for Saks scans, she looks great in those.

Mathias and her look cute in that video, too bad I don't understand anything, but seeing Mathias with that long curly hair makes up for it

[silviegoeswild]

New cover, yes!

Soo, now I translated the video. I did it very fast, so bear with me on any misspellings at all or any parts you don't understand:
(The clips is starting a bit weird, but I think the first line goes like this)
Interviewer: Mathias Lauridsen & Freja Beha Erichsen have made a fast career in the international fashion world, and are now in the absolute top.
Last night the Danish fashion world celebrated the two supermodels.
Voiceover: Musicians, TV-celebrities, and the top of politicians arrived last night to celebrate the Danish fashion world. And of course models and designers were also there to Denmark’s first fashion awardshow implemented by the fashion kings, Kim Grenaa and Uffe Buchard.
Suzanne Bjerrehus: We are on the world map, and that’s something to celebrate.
Voiceover: And it did get celebrated, a bit late for Suzanne Bjerrehus’ own model son, but she, she were allowed to present the ward for best male model.
Suzanne Bjerrehus: Mathias Lauridsen.
Voiceover: And in the company of Erik Brandt and Jokeren (in English: the Joker, Danish rapper) Freja Beha Erichsen got her award for best female model.
Eric Brandt: (I can’t exactly hear what he’s saying, but something about she always got attitude in her work).
Interviewer: That is how it looks when awards get presented in the Copenhagen night-life.
Welcome to you Uffe Buchard, and Mathias Lauridsen, and Freja Beha Erichsen.
And it’s very rare I welcome someone in this studio whose name is Beha Erichsen, like mine.
Freja: Yeah, it probably is.
Interviewer: It’s so cozy, cause we’re actually cousins, but we’ve never met until now.
Freja: Never, no, that’s weird.
Interviewer: Hello Freja.
Freja: Hello.
Interviewer: Do you think we look alike, Uffe?
Freja: A little bit?
Uffe: Yeah, a little bit.
Interviewer: How is it to be a model star, and travel in the big world and then come home and get a big award like this? Is it good?
Freja: Yes, I guess it is.
Mathias: Yes, I think so. It’s .. all shoulder claps (Danish word for when people knowledge what you’ve accomplished) are welcome, and of course it’s .. you take it as a clap on the shoulders and a recognition that you’re doing a great job.
Freja: Exaclty.
Mathias: Of course that’s always nice.
Interviewer: Uffe, you’ve been part of the arrangement of this, fashion award, and you were part of the judge committee. Why is it Mathias and Freja who should have these awards?
Uffe: Well, I’ve only given my one vote. There are 250 people who’ve been involved from the Danish fashion world and the international. And then there has been a judge panel, a hardcore inner circle, of 20 people, who’ve made the final decision. And I want to say that I don’t think the selection was hard, because we’ve here two superstars.
Interviewer: Yes, what is it that they can, in relation to other moels?
Uffe: Well, what I think a good model should be able to today is not only being pretty, cause that’s just not enough. A good model today also have to, you can almost say a challenge for the senses. You should almost be able to go on discovery in a model’s look today. Therefore they’ve to have something else. We’re talking so much about X-factor today, and that’s what you need.
Interviewer: And do you’ve X-factor? Do you wake up in the morning thinking “I’ve X-factor”?
Freja: No, of course not.
Mathias: I don’t like X-factor that much.
Uffe: No, but you’ve to rest in yourself, you’ve to be a real human being, rather than doll. You don’t have to be a model in that sense, like in the 80’s and the 90’s. The things have changed.
Interviewer: There’s something more. There have to be more personality?
Uffe: You’ve to, yes, and if you don’t rest in yourself and if you haven’t experienced some things and so on. I don’t know, I know you’ve.
Freja: Yes, we’ve.
Interviewer: Mathias, how did you get in to it, how did you start your modeling career?
Mathias: Uhm, I actually started it as I think most of the boys start it. It’s not the same dream for boys, as I assume it is for girls. It’s not that princess-dream. Most boys start out with being asked, approached by someone, who asks if you want this to be a living way for you.
Interviewer: We’ve actually found the first model picture taken of you. It should come on the screen now. In a second.
How did that happen? You dad was involved, right? He says, “you look good kid, you should go in and get some pictures taken”? How did it happen?
Uffe: I can actually remember you having that hair.
Mathias: I remember it too. It has never been longer.
Freja: It’s very cute.
Uffe: He’s a very cute girl.
Interviewer: Freja, you’re 20 years old now, and there are these lists over the hottest or the best models in the world. And Mathias you’re number 1, and you’ve been that for a while. And Freja you’re number 11. How did you get involved in all this?
Freja: I was stopped on the street on Gammel Kongevej (In English: Old King’s Road). Uhm, and I thought: “well, then”.
Interviewer: Someone could see that there were some Beha Erichsen genes that could be used for something.
Freja: Yes exactly. And then I thought “Well, then, why not? I’ve to try that”. And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since. And it went quite well.
Interviewer: And you haven’t regretted?
Freja: I’ve never regretted that.
Interviewer: You’ve never regretted that?
Freja: Never!
Interviewer: Is it a good life being a model? Many dream about, and think that, that must be the best thing in the world. Is it the best in the world?
Freja: Well, I like it. I think it’s a lovely job.
Mathias: I’m certainly not unhappy, but it’s probably not the job people necessarily imagine it to be when they think that it would be the best in the world. But I’m also very happy about my job.
Freja: Yes.
Mathias: I also value the freedom the job offers.
Interviewer: It’s not necessarily the most long lasting job in the world.
Freja: It’s probably not.
Mathias: No.
Interviewer: How long can you last as a model?
Freja: Well, I’m planning on lasting as long as I can. Uhm as long as there is something to do. And then you probably find something else to do afterwards, I assume.
Interviewer: Yes, life is fortunately long.
Freja: That’s exactly what it is.
Interviewer: Listen, congratulations on the awards, and thank you for stopping by.
Uffe, Freja & Mathias: Thank you. You’re welcome.

It's actually quite funny, and you probably can't hear it, but Freja has this very funny accent. She's coming from a city in Denmark called Roskilde, and the accent is very Roskilde-ish. Also a bit Copenhagen-ish. But it has a lot of attitude.

awesome cover. That was a great idea with the hair!

The new cover looks amazing! Freja has such a presence on this cover, I am so impressed by her recent work.

It's about time that she got a cover!

Thanks for the interview and the translation. Freja seems so sweet.

[2you]

cool video interview! thanks! it was funny when she got her award.
she was right in front of that guy and he didn't see her. haha!

The cover is O.....k.......i suppose.
the wig looks kinda dumb, but her bod is gorg.

[Moofins]

I adore the two Danes in the interview. They look so great in motion, the both of them!

[behansu]

I nearly died when I saw the Numero cover. Freja looks utterly cool and her body is amazingly toned. She's so skinny, but it looks natural and good on her, unlike some other models. BTW, does anyone know if that Numero will be available in the US?

Thanks everyone for all the pictures and videos!
