Samantha Hoopes, the “Sports Illustrated” swimsuit model says it was her dad that took the pictures that got her the coveted modeling job.

The swimsuit model told the host of the “Dan Patrick Show” that she decided she wanted to be a model, applied online and got her dad to take the pictures that lead to her getting the job.

“For me, I literally applied online,” she said. “I just sent in a couple of pictures my dad took, some polaroids.” Adding,”I know that sounds super creepy,” when the host pushed her on it, she repeated “that sounds super creepy.”

And then the swimsuit model explained that her dad is a great photographer, obviously it got her the gig. “My dad is a good photographer, I guess, because I got a contract out of it.”
