Best and Worst Acting Performances by a Model

[Joe > Average]

What are some of the best and worst performances you've seen by a model as an actress. It doesn't necesarily have to be a movie. Little stipulation, the best doesn't count

if they were ten or more years out of modeling when they did it

[Joe > Average]

One of the best for me is Milla Jovovich in the 5th Element and not just because she kicked but and was super cool, she did a good job to me as well. And that speech in the end...

Actually, I think she does good in general. As for the worst... I'll get to that later...

best~~ paulina porizkova in a movie called 'thursday'

the movie has a pulp fiction type of feel and she does

an amazing job. you can check out some of the scenes on youtube

ive tried to link scenes from that movie to BZ and it always says

'sorry that video is no longer available'

and milla is great at EVERYTHING

acting, modelling singing/songwriting,design,poetry

shes prolly great when she cuts a fart too :x

Best would go to Charlize Theron... Pick a movie, any movie. From Cider House Rules to Aeon Flux to Monster. Woman is brilliant.

Josie Maran in Van Helsing has got to be the worst... hahaha... can't act, cant's dance, but she sure is pretty.

charilze can act her ass off.. but ive never seen her when she was a model

josie maran in van helsing nuff said

i just thought of a great one... but its a male model.

Djimon Hounsou~~

his acting chops are freaking amazing

its hard to pick a movie, hes so incredible in all of them

but id say 'in america' he plays a hiv positive artist who

becomes involved in a newly immigrated irish family.

its such a beautiful, special movie and his performance was stunning

stunning enough to earn him an oscar nomination.he had me crying like a bitch

and the worst??? i love this woman, and she usually kicks so much ass...

but uma thurman in 'batman and robin'

:x

yet again, nuff said

Does Charlize really count? I mean, no one remembers her as a model. Her career as one was probably so miniscule it's not even worth mentioning. Same with the other actresses mentioned.

But I've heard Cindy Crawford's attempts at acting were pretty terrible.

Gisele's isn't exactly Oscar caliber either.

[Sam12]

Gisele sucked in that movie Taxi I think, her body made up for it though hehe

Tyra also should not act or SING, she was horrible in Coyote Ugly, but again her body made up for it lol

Stipulation: It doesn't count if you were never a top model and the fact that you used to do some modeling is just a fun fact Charlize is disqualified because she never was big as a model and Djimon is disqualified because he's a man, but they are great though. I didn't know Paulina was in a movie and I didn't know Josie was in Van Helsing.

[TooBoku]

I dunno... I'd still count Charlize because I knew her as a model first and she didn't too too badly as a model. She wouldn't be acting today is she wasn't a model first.

Basically, what got you famous in the first place.
