Updated | By Etienne Bruwer
This proves you’re really never too old to do whatever the hell you want!
Businesswoman, chef, writer, television presenter, and now a Sports Illustrated cover model. Is there anything Martha Stewart can’t do?
Stewart, 81, has joined Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader as one of four celebrities to cover this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

The lifestyle mogul said in an interview that this is a “once in a lifetime” gig.
"It should have been 30 years ago," Stewart said. "That would have been great. It was not a goal I set for myself, but once asked, I thought to myself, let's do it!"
Stewart modelled for the magazine’s annual swimsuit edition, where she wore a variety of swim looks. The mag will hit newsstands on May 18.

"It's important to stand up to challenges, whether they're beauty challenges or intellectual challenges, even philanthropic challenges," she shares. "To be able to stand up and do it — to me — is so fun! And this is accomplishing something that not everybody would accomplish."
