It’s great when people try themselves in areas they have never worked. It allows discovering new talents and capabilities in a person. Sometimes such attempts turn out successful. For example, Victoria Beckham wasn’t a good singer but she definitely is a gifted designer. But people can fail as often, like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as an actress (in Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen). What is best about it is that whatever happens to others people still try new opportunities. If we took models, they do tend to try acting.
Let’s just remember Gisele Bundchen in Devil Wears Prada, Rosie in Tranformers, Sasha Pivovarova played a role in upcoming movie In Time (To be released on Oct.28) and Daria Strokous made an appearance in upcoming thriller Contagion (Out on September 9). Besides, Miranda Kerr is rumored to be cast for a movie by Harvey Weinstein and Crystal Renn also wanted to add acting experience to her resume (She’s model and a writer.) Lara Stone is the latest of models who expressed intentions to become an actress, too. Lara says singing isn’t for her but acting might be interesting.
In an interview for Vogue UK she revealed:
I would love to be in Zoolander 2. I’d be so good at that ‘Blue Steel’ pose. I think I’d enjoy doing that, it’d be funny. I’d like to try acting if the right part came along, but I’m not actively looking — I’m pretty busy at the moment. I definitely could never go into singing at all ever though, unless it was for a huge joke. I don’t even sing in the shower. Actually the other day I was in the shower and I didn’t realise my husband was in, and I sang away to myself. I got out and he gave me the most disdainful look.”
So, who’s next? I think Coco Rocha will be a really good actress. She can express different emotions wonderfully and every shoot she does is like a little performance. I do hope she’s considering to try acting. Freja Beha Erichson can be an interesting movie personality. And I would love to see Lily Donaldson in a film.
Who do you think could be right for acting? And do you think the new trend ‘model-turns-actress’ is a good thing?

This is far from a “new” trend. Models have been crossing over into Hollywood for decades.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as an actress (in Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen) is an incorrect fact. Megan Fox was in #2. Rosie was in Tranformers 3 (Dark of the Moon).
I used to have many model classmates back when I was in College… It is always a great idea to expand their market to several areas because Modelling even if you are on top of the world can only take you so far!!! You need to get your name out there.
