Six-time SI Swimsuit model Genevieve Morton is feeling nostalgic. She recently shared a throwback pic from her sophomore SI Swimsuit photo shoot in 2011 with Walter Iooss Jr. in Fiji. In it, Morton climbed a tree surrounded by large lush green leaves. She donned a bright red-orange bikini featuring a wrap-style top and cheeky bottoms with ring detailing.

“What a treat to get a few pictures I have NEVER seen before from @troyzan taken during the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot I Did in Fiji,” the 36-year-old captioned the post she shared Saturday with her 397,000 followers. “Did you know that @turtlefiji is where they shot the movie “The Blue Lagoon” with Brooke Shields? #fiji #turtleisland.” 

“You could have played her role in a reboot,” one fan commented in reference to the 1980 coming-of-age film.

“You could be the new Jane to whoever you chose to be Tarzan on the big screen,” another person wrote, mentioning the animated jungle character.

The South Africa native made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2010 after posing in Palm Springs, Calif., for photographer Walter Chin. She returned each year through 2015, when she traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands for her favorite photo shoot with the brand—a unique body painting feature.

“Another picture I’ve NEVER seen before from @troyzan this trip was the first time I had ever been in a sea plane, it was very exciting and scary to land on the water,” the Morton Media Management founder wrote alongside another behind the scenes photo from the same feature. “One of the best things about being a model, is having been able to travel to beautiful places and make lasting connections with people.”
