Heidi Klum in shock: nude shooting reveals the top ten at GNTM!

In the current season of "Germany’s Next Top Model", Heidi Klum is looking for the best candidates for the top ten in the desert of California. This episode, which was broadcast on May 22, 2025, includes a spectacular nude shoot that decides on the whereabouts of the models. The popular designer Kilian Kerner, who acts as a guest juror, gives the participants valuable tips for their appearances on the red carpet and introduces them to the art of posing.

among the models that strive intensely to move into the top ten are Canel and Jannik, who enjoy the glamor of Elton John's Oscar party in Los Angeles. Canel, who previously worked as a cleaner and sees GNTM a chance to rescue it, sees it particularly remarkable. In contrast, Jannik has a past at McDonald’s. Both attract attention in the fashion world and are determined to pass in the competition.

The nude shooting and the surprises on the set

The nude shoot, which took place in an impressive backdrop in the California desert, requires the models to shave on the entire body and pose with sprayed tattoos. Photographer Brian Bowen Smith demands casual poses in the style of "Easy Rider". In an unexpected turn, Pierre, a trained bank clerk from Vienna, surprises everyone by uncovering the set. This appearance shocked Klum, who demonstratively holds his hand in front of her face. Pierre, who has never modeled before the show, likes his new lifestyle and causes excitement among the jurors.

While Kevin and Ray enter into a bitter competition for whereabouts in competition, Ray's criticism of Kevin's behavior causes tensions. Ultimately, Kevin convinces with his Poznan on a Harley Davidson, while Ray leaves after he was criticized by Klum because of his facial expression. Josy from Munich also rules out because she does not achieve the desired results during the photo shoot.
