The transformation of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: the blockbuster Victoria’s Secret supermodel turned Transformers III star shows why she’s built for the big screen on the cover of our July issue - as well as proving she works well on the small screen, in our first-ever iPad app.

The July issue of British GQ is out on 2 June, priced £3.99.

A Victoria’s Secret model starring in a Transformers movie? Check and check. Gentlemen, meet Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, the lady who’s turning your adolescent wet dreams into reality.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was looking for work while she was in college, so she applied for and was hired as a booker at a modeling agency. When she showed up for her first day of work, the agency heads immediately fired her as a booker and hired her as a model. Then the other models from that agency exploded.
It just goes to show that you never know where your education, career, or life will take you.

A few years later Rosie became a Victoria’s Secret Angel, there by entering the fantasies of millions of normal and weird men. Now she’s the female lead in Transformers.

Preparation, struggle, rejection? Bah! All jokes aside, the girl is friendly, silly, and easy to talk to. The 24-year-old Brit grew up on a farm, which goes a long way toward making someone totally normal…or completely batballs crazy. You draw your own conclusions, but at the photo shoot for this piece, she talked about killing chickens (normal, to us) and how she didn’t feel like she looked her best that day (batballs crazy, clearly).

Did you watch Transformers cartoons to prepare for your role?
No. I’ve seen the Transformers movies before, but I haven’t seen the cartoons or played with the toys. I grew up on a farm in the southwest of England. I think I had about two toys my whole childhood. I was in the woods, riding my bike and my horse.

Do you think Transformers role-play when they have sex?
Do I think they role-play when they have sex? [Laughs.] What, like Bumblebee and Optimus Prime? No! ’Cause there’s no lady Transformers!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley talks to Vanity Fair about the transition from fashion into film. The British born beauty, due to make her acting debut in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has taken on the role of superstar as though she was born to do it. How does she handle it all? “I learned pretty quickly that it wasn’t all parties and getting free clothes and getting paid a lot of money. You’ve got to be professional.” We’ll keep that in mind.

Megan Fox is out of Transformers 3, but worry not, lusty fanboys – this Victoria’s Secret model will be dodging robots and breaking hearts in her place.

With the news that Megan Fox had, depending on which side you believe, either been fired from the upcoming Transformers 3 or had voluntarily quit Transformers 3, fanboys the world over dreaded the possibility that they would be stuck with only the CGI robos to distract them from Shia LaBeouf. C’mon, guys, you didn’t think Michael F-ing Bay would leave you hanging on the fantasy fuel, did you? Rumors are swirling that Victoria’s Secret model Rosie Huntington—Whiteley will be the one filling out the Daisy Dukes and mowing down Decepticons in Megan’s place. It makes sense, seeing as she fulfills all of Bay’s requirements for the role: She’s hot, hot, and very hot.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has spoken exclusively to Total Film about appearing in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

The British supermodel is making her movie debut in Michael Bay’s threequel, but she has worked with the director before on a Victoria’s Secret campaign.

On her character, Carly, Huntington-Whiteley tells us: “She’s English and is working for the British embassy… I can’t tell you more! That’s all I can say for now!”

Huntington-Whiteley was cast as Sam’s (Shia LaBeouf) new girlfriend after Megan Fox left her breakthrough franchise.

“I went to the casting unaware they were looking for a new female lead”, says Rosie.

“We were told it was for a ‘nemesis’ role and I left thinking I was awful. The next day I was offered the lead!”
