Another day, and another pair of celebrities swapping stories about the good old days. This time, it’s supermodel Naomi Campbell and comedy icon Chris Rock, reminiscing about their crazy days in New York, before COVID-19, with boxing champ Mike Tyson. And it involves someone pushing someone out of a moving car?
Naomi Campbell has been using the quarantine to make the most out of her time. While the model is a notorious germaphobe, her famously overpreparing for her flights was no longer a laughing matter after the pandemic hit the world. Suddenly, Naomi Campbell was looking very prescient and ahead of the times.

Sporting a hazmat suit, a pair of goggles, a face mask and pink latex gloves – Naomi was spotted boarding a plane at Los Angeles International Airport (“LAX”) decked out to the max for protection. The 50-year-old has dialed the intensity up a notch by not only wearing a face mask – like many other people who fly – but including it as just one piece of her fashionable ensemble against viruses.
Despite her extensive routine for travel, Naomi’s also been in the house and making that fashion, as well. Her YouTube channel, which was popular and up and running before the pandemic hit, has continued to bring a bevy of interesting interview subjects to her digital doorstep, with the likes of Anna Wintour, and also doing makeup tutorials, discussing fashion and more.
Just because the world has stopped venturing outside doesn’t mean that the model’s job is done, however. In an iconic move, Naomi shot herself for a magazine cover, on her own, with an iPhone. Gracing the cover of Essence magazines 50th anniversary cover, Naomi styled and photographed herself and showing yet another talent that she posseses.
“It was a very special honor and unusual experience for me to be able to shoot and style my own cover for Essence’s 50th Anniversary Issue. On my iPhone,” she wrote on Instagram.
Her latest, equally iconic visitor is comedian Chris Rock. The two have been friends for a number of years, and they used their joint session to reminisce on one of the wildest personalities ever seen in sports – Mike Tyson.
Sharing a story of how they all met and hung out in New York, Chris Rock joked that he remembered Tyson pushing Naomi out of a moving car, to which Naomi reacted.
“We did hang out – me, you, Mike… I remember, I think Mike pushed you out of a moving car one night,” Rock said. “He did? Are you sure it wasn’t me that pushed him? That’s if I even got in the car with him. He wasn’t the best driver,” replied Campbell while laughing.
Rock then said, “I think you gave somebody your number, he lost his head. That’s odd, right,” making a joke about Tyson’s volatile personality in his earlier days.
They ended their reminisce with Naomi mentioning they are still friends and she’s looking forward to his comeback charity fight that is upcoming.
“It’s a good thing we’re all grown ups today, and we’re family, and I actually can’t wait for his fight next month. I’m so looking forward to seeing it.”
