The mystery man
caught with his face very close to Gisele Bundchen's face in Paris last Thursday
has been identified and has spoken out about his supposed kiss with the supermodel. His name is Helly Nahmad, he's an art dealer with a gallery in New York City and he used to date Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.
Nahmad
spoke with Brazilian newspaper O Dia, who, based on our translation, explained that he is a long-time friend of Gisele and was even the one who introduced her to her former boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio. Nahmad remarked to
O Dia, "Gosh, it was a kiss on the cheek," indicating that cameras caught them from a bad angle.
Nahmad also said he talked to Tom Brady about the picture and the two shared a laugh.
