My quick translation: Doutzen Kroes is working on acting career The role Doutzen Kroes played in the Dutch film Nova Zembla will not be her last if she has anything to say about it. Doutzen Kroes made her acting debut in 2011 in Nova Zembla. The Dutch supermodel told in an interview with Glamour that she wants to act more. "It would be so great to be able to lose myself in a role." But first, the 29-year-old Friesian tries to get rid of her Dutch accent. "I have had a lot of acting classes during my latest pregnancy. And English language lessons, to get rid of my Dutch accent. So who knows what the future holds" In Nova Zembla, Doutzen played the beautiful Catharina. The film by Reinout Oerlemans about the harsh voyage of Willem Barents in 1596 was a huge hit in the Netherlands. ( though I believe the general consensus among critics was that it sucked big time..) Nova Zembla even received the status of platinum film because the 3D film drew 400,000 visitors to the cinema. In America, the Dutch film wasn't received so well.
