Find out how Rosie Huntington-Whiteley got into butt-kicking shape to star in the most anticipated flick of the summer
In movie land, it’s not uncommon for a director to butt heads with his leading lady. But the public feud that brewed—and eventually boiled over—between Transformers director Michael Bay and actress Megan Fox left Bay with a challenge that could make or break Dark of the Moon, the highly anticipated third installment of the blockbuster franchise: Find a replacement strong and sexy enough to outfox Megan.
Enter Rosie Huntington-Whiteley—a gorgeous model Bay met while filming a Victoria’s Secret commercial in 2009. The guy clearly has good instincts. Before a single frame of her was flashed on the big screen, Rosie had already been crowned Female Star of Tomorrow by CinemaCon, the convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners. No pressure or anything.
Thankfully, while acting is new to Rosie, being the center of attention isn’t. In addition to being a Victoria’s Secret Angel, the 24-year-old was the face of Burberry and has appeared in advertisements for brands such as BCBG Max Azria and DKNY. Last year, she was the subject of the book Ten Times Rosie, which features her in creative scenarios—including one in which she’s dressed only in body paint.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Thought She Bombed Transformers Audition
One of the many intriguing stories to emerge from the production and release of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is the casting of new leading lady and first-time actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. In addition to making headlines for replacing Megan Fox as the new “Transformers” “It” girl, the fact that Whiteley comes to Hollywood from the equally glamorous world of modeling has only added to her appeal.
The Victoria’s Secret model’s acting abilities have already been touted and praised by her co-stars, Shia LaBeouf and Tyrese Gibson, but when MTV News caught up with the newbie, we asked her about the intensity of the audition process.
“I went to the audition and really I knew nothing about the role,” Whiteley said. “No one had said anything; it was just a role in ‘Transformers,’ so I kind of thought it would be an extra part or a cameo or something. I went in a bit blind and also, it was my first-ever audition. I went in completely not knowing what I was doing. I left feeling not confident.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Transformers Director Michael Bay Is ‘a Laugh’
Shia LaBeouf and “Transformers” director Michael Bay are “like brothers,” according to the actor himself. But what’s Bay’s relationship like with his newest leading lady, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?
We put that very question not just to Rosie but also to her “Dark of the Moon” co-stars when we met up with them on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. If you were expecting to hear some juicy gossip about friction between the two, however, prepare to be disappointed: Rosie says that Bay’s work ethic was very much in line with her own.
“I met Michael Bay back in 2009 on a Victoria’s Secret commercial, and we’ve always gotten along,” she said. “The guy has a great sense of humor, he has a really tough work ethic, which I do. He works really hard, and he expects his team and his cast to be professional and work hard. That’s been my work ethic all along, so we get along fine.”

Transformers Stars Survive ‘Jumping Through Fire’
It’s almost a given that stunt work on a flick like “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” would be intense. The cast of the Michael Bay-directed movie expected as much, and they were more than up for the challenge.
“I loved doing the stunts,” Rosie Huntington-Whiteley told MTV News, adding that she thought Bay “really respected a girl that could get her hands dirty.”
“Dark of the Moon,” which hits theaters on June 29, is Huntington-Whiteley’s first appearance in the franchise but she seemed to revel in all of the action. “Everything was a first for me, so it was super exhilarating and exciting. … And we had a lot of fun filming. Every day was a crazy day on set and I think maybe half the time, I was in a harness or jumping through fire or I was running through gunfire or, like, hiding underneath something that was about to explode.”
