Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has revealed that she is working hard on her acting as she switches careers from being a model to an actress.
She told Elle that she could not pass up a leading role in 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' when it was offered to her.
Huntington-Whiteley said: "I'm working really hard with a coach to learn to act. I love being part of the fashion industry but, after almost nine years as a model, I'd be a real fool to turn down the chance to try something different."
She also tackled scepticism about her acting ability, saying: "I realise what people think. But that can't affect my life or my choices. I haven't claimed to be an amazing actress. I want to work, that's all. I want to pay my bills and make my family proud. I've got no criteria apart from that.
The British Victoria's Secret star added that her modelling career did inform her acting career. She explained: "When I'm working, I become a different character. There are few pictures ever taken that really represent Rosie."
