Doutzen Kroes was born 23th January 1985, Oostermeer, Friesland, Netherlands. One early fashion photo-shoot assignment involved her being sawed in half by a magician. Using the then-new "Impossible Sawing" version of the famous illusion, she was apparently divided in two at the waist by a circular saw and her halves separated without any boxes or other coverings over her body. Although not normally performed using non-professional assistants, this version of the illusion was especially selected as the lack of coverings over the assistant allowed a clear view of the fashions she was modeling.
