15 Models Who Made It In Hollywood (Models-Turned-Actresses)

Modeling career is usually quite short. As soon as you turn 30 (or even earlier) no one wants you any more as there are plenty of younger and as ambitious girls ready to take your place at any time. There are a few exceptions though, like Gisele Bundchen, Miranda Kerr, Cindy Crawford and Heidi Klum. However, those are just exceptions. So, it is clear why even at the top of their careers models try to find other projects which could allow them to earn good money after they give up modeling and still live a life of a celebrity. Acting is one of the most popular choices. And for some it is a better choice that modeling was once.

Top 15 Models-Turned-Actresses:

#1. Kate Upton
Lingerie and swimwear model Kate Upton has appeared in two big-budget movies: Tower Heist and Three Stooges. And while her acting was not really impressive she did make people talk about her as the Catholic League considered her fictional nun’s bathing suit as too revealing.

#2. Agyness Deyn
A singer and model, Agyness Deyn also tried designing once when she and her sister created a collection of t-shirt for high street chain Uniqlo. Being a good model Deyn has never stated she loved fashion or modeling. It was obvious she was aimed at something bigger and more important. And in 2012 we finally learned what that was – acting. The girl appeared as an Aphrodite in Clash of the Titans, then she played a warrior in Woodcock video, a strong minded stripper in Pusher and a role of Paula in The Leisure Society.
