Michael* Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Partially inspired by Cara Delevingne, who you may remember from such films as Suicide Squad and Valerian. Looking at her IMDB page, she's had a few other castings over the last couple of years, although I don't recognise many of the titles so I'm not altogether sure of how big they were. Anyway, leaving aside the more obvious fashion-centric fare of things like Zoolander or Neon Demon, what are some other movies with models that most people mightn't otherwise know about and most importantly, were they any good?

Michael* Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 The best one I myself can bring to mind at the moment is Gemma Ward in an Australian film called The Black Balloon. I was pretty neutral on Gemma beforehand, but her performance in this made me a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The 5th Element and the RE movies are well known. The transporter 2 had a super-skinny model. She looked way too catwalkish for the role: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1690331/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't know if it counts, but Jaime King used to be a model (now she's more an actress). I liked her in Sin City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She always had that brilliantly deadpan expression, which was great for modelling and even better for her role as Miho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 ^ Deadly little Miho! She was great in this role. They should've kept her for Sin City 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she was very sexy when that movie came out lol I never liked Devon Aoki- I found her too unfriendly looking. She has a face of a 10 year old girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely remember hearing that she was pregnant at the time of filming Sin City 2. The kind of thing that happens when you wait nine years between connected films, I guess. Not that I dislike Jamie Chung of course (quite the opposite), but given my ultimate pick for a replacement Miho, I would have gone for Rila Fukushima. Like Devon, she has that taciturn look off to a fine art. Perhaps they could cast her for the third movie in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why though, she strikes me as someone who probably could have done a lot more if she'd wanted it.

Michael* Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 For reasons not altogether clear to me at the time, Alessandra Ambrosio had a 'blink and you'll miss it' cameo in Casino Royale, although there was very little in the way of actual acting required.

Maybe she married well? hah TBH she was a bad actress in "Transporter 2" but she was so facially outstanding that it was jarring Playboy model Natalia Sokolova had some minor movie roles. She's one of my favorite playboy models. A fun fact is that she was apparently an amazing student in Russia. She left modeling/entertainment and became an oil services executive- possibly the hottest person in America for that sort of job. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0812496/ http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/photos/natalia-sokolova?excludenudity=true&family=editorial&mediatype=photography&phrase=natalia sokolova&sort=mostpopular#license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juicyhermes Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Lily Cole was in St Trinian's and Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I never watched Imaginarioum of Doctor Parnassus but I did watch St Trinians which I thought was funny. Sasha Pivovarova was in In Time as the mother in law but I don't think it was a big role. Sasha Luss was in Valerian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
