Model Dong Lei Becomes Internet Sensation (PHOTO)

Chinese model Dong Lei has become an Internet sensation thanks to her 5-foot, 11-inch body that is accompanied by incredible 3-ft, 9-in legs.

"I find it incredible that I have suddenly become an Internet celebrity!" Lei told the Daily Mail.

"I really enjoy my life and work at this moment," she said. "I fly around a lot and my work is also partly like a holiday. I will work hard to succeed going forward and hope for the best."

While the Internet has grown abuzz about Lei, the 20-year-old's special feature became apparent well before her current fame.

"My teachers mentioned that I should have tried modeling when they noticed my really long legs, and when I looked into it I realized that I might even have the longest legs in the world," Lei told Examiner.com. "I find it incredible that I have suddenly become an internet celebrity!"

Lei had plans to become a teacher, but later switched to modeling.
