Shakira claims she could belly dance from birth
The `She Wolf` singer is famed for her hip-swivelling abilities and believes it isn`t something she ever had to learn, even though she did have lessons as a child.
The Columbian beauty said: "For me, it was, and is, more of a natural thing. It`s something that was practically given to me at birth, and for which I never had to train myself. These movements, they are inside me and I can call them back whenever I need them."
Shakira realises she is a sex symbol to men all over the world but insists she is "flattered" that guys find her attractive because she has never believed she is a beautiful woman.
She added: "I must confess that I feel very flattered - because I never have felt particularly sexy. Anybody who shows me like this is promoting my feminine vanity."
But Shakira - who appears virtually naked in the video for `She Wolf` - admits it`s not easy looking as good as she does, and she has to stick to a rigorous training regime to stay slim and sexy.
She added to German magazine Fit For Fun: "I trained really hard for the `She Wolf` video - almost a month. I wanted to look good and didn`t want to shame myself.
"There was no muscle in my body that did not hurt. I was in pain for days, simply because I`d gone too far."
