I don't know that it needs to be a transition from modeling to acting. I think that they can both exist at the same time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Acting, it's very different. It's obviously very different and a lot more difficult than the modeling world I came from.
Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it's the feel that matters.
Acting is a bigger step into modelling in a way. Modelling is easier when you don't look like yourself. When you look like a different person, you feel different. Acting goes deeper into that; you have to move and talk like that character. I love it.
I have a theory that most people disagree with. I really feel that acting for film and acting for the stage are two different crafts. I think that they share things in common. But I liken it to a painter switching over to photography.
Modeling is a lot of fun, but I prefer acting. It's so much fun to get to play different characters and transform into someone else for a while.
There is a degree of role-playing in modeling, for sure, and you're also in a high-profile job - there are lots of similarities for sure. But when I'm acting, I've got to try and be present, and I've got to be emotionally committed to a character, both physically and intellectually.
You know, everyone says, 'Modeling and acting are so similar'... they say, 'It's so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.' I don't think of it in that way.
The fashion industry is completely different from the acting industry, but definitely the same as well, because there's cattiness and competition just like in the modeling world.
Acting has always been something I've wanted to get into. I think the best models are actors; you're taking on a character. In that sense, I have been acting for a long time. It didn't seem like a crazy transition.
As a model you do play a certain role and you know as an actor you play another role.
