She's a fast talker. She speaks her mind. She looks bonkers in a bikini. Yes, She's still married to that handsome tennis player who almost always makes it to the quarterfinals. But don't worry—she says we have permission to stare. That's why Brooklyn Decker is, now and forever, the kind of girl who really floats our boat.
If the men of America have been waiting for Andy Roddick to blow it with his smoking-hot wife, Brooklyn Decker, a golden opportunity may have come and gone a few months ago. It happened while the couple were watching Bridesmaids—her sixth time, his first—and Roddick made the mistake of saying aloud what he thought of Kristen Wiig's character: "That chick is crazy." Decker swiftly corrected him, both in the hotel room and on Twitter. "I feel like her character is my inner soul," she explains now. "The ways she acts are my inner thoughts, but I just can't express them because they're too nerdy. So if he was calling her crazy, I guess that makes me slightly crazy."
It only takes one conversation with the supermodel to determine that, okay, yes, maybe she's not quite the sweet dork she fancies herself to be—but something daffy is going on inside that lovely head of hers. Decker, 25, is a fun, fast, loopy talker. "As you can tell," she interrupts herself at one point, mid-anecdote, "I talk a lot." For instance, there's her long, spirited defense of Gisele Bündchen for her ungracious post–Super Bowl, mama-grizzly remarks about Tom Brady's teammates (Bündchen was caught on-camera fuming, "My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time"), which Decker wraps up by admitting her Bündchen bias: "I have a top-five list, and Gisele is my number one. So she can do no wrong in my eyes." Hold on—what kind of list is this, exactly? "Well, everyone has a top-five list of their biggest crushes, you know?" says Decker. "Usually, it's guys on my list, but Gisele is just so perfect in every way." (Feel free to let your imagination wander. We did.)
One guy who didn't make Decker's list: Taylor Kitsch, her co-star and love interest in this month's board-game-to-movie-blockbuster Battleship. Decker talks about the Friday Night Lights actor almost fraternally, labeling his habits (dirty jokes, hockey addiction, general Canadian-ness) as "Kitschisms." "But you probably shouldn't quote that—like, make it into an official noun or anything," she says, "because then it's going to make his head really big."
Decker gets bashful only once during the conversation: when she's pestered for more names in her top five. She finally agrees to share one more, and the reason for her reluctance crystallizes the moment she utters the name Dave Matthews. "Yeah, I know. I know." She talks through the shocked silence. "I know! I know, I know. My husband is really gonna make fun of me for this." For once, the men of America are on Andy Roddick's side.
