Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley[4] (born 18 April 1987) is an English model and actress, best known for her work for Victoria's Secret, and her role as Carly Spencer in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, part of the Transformers film series.[5]. Huntington-Whiteley is currently one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. [6]
Early life and family
Huntington-Whiteley was born at the Freedom Fields Hospital in Plymouth, Devon, England. Her mother, Fiona (née Jackson), is a fitness instructor, and her father, Charles Andrew Huntington-Whiteley, is a chartered surveyor.[7][8] She has two younger siblings; a brother, Toby, and a sister, Florence. Her paternal great-great-grandfather was politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet; Herbert's son, Eric, was the "black sheep" of the family, and had married Rosie's great-grandmother, Enid Kohn, who was from a family of Polish Jews who immigrated to England in the 1870s.[9] Rosie's paternal grandmother was the daughter of Jacob Franks, a Sussex surgeon.[10]
Huntington-Whiteley grew up in Tavistock, Devon, on a farm.[11] Growing up in Devon, she was bullied and teased at school for having a double-barrelled name, no breasts, and for her full lips (now one of her most famous assets).[12] She got voted Miss Big Mouth because she talked constantly and, after a growth spurt at the age of 13, Girl Most Likely To Become A Supermodel. Bored of her farm life, she was eager to get out and go to London.[4] In 2003, while studying at Tavistock College, she was discovered by Profile Model Management while seeking internships with several London based modelling agencies.[11] Her first gig in front of the camera was at 16, posing for a Levi's commercial. She spent all of her first cheque on a Ford Ka, even though she couldn't drive, thinking it would be the one and only time she would ever get paid for modelling.[4]

Since 2006, Huntington-Whiteley has modelled for American lingerie and beauty products brand Victoria's Secret. The model made her Victoria's Secret debut at the brand's 2006 show in Los Angeles.[11]
She remained unknown in the fashion industry up until 2008, when she was cast by chief creative director Christopher Bailey, replacing Agyness Deyn for Burberry's fall/winter campaign with actor Sam Riley.[11][13][14] She got her first British Vogue cover, for the November 2008 issue, which saw her pictured alongside Eden Clark and Jourdan Dunn in a feature celebrating British models.[11] The following year, she was featured as the face of Karen Millen's spring/summer 2009 advertising campaign.[15] Huntington-Whiteley received an Elle Style Award for 2009's "Model of the Year".[16] She starred in a short film for Agent Provocateur playing a woman whose boyfriend forgets Valentine's Day.[11] For fall/winter 2009, she modelled campaigns for Godiva and Miss Sixty.[17] In late 2009, Huntington-Whiteley officially became a Victoria's Secret Angel,[11] modelling for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York city.[18]
In 2010, she posed nude for the Pirelli Calendar, which was photographed by Terry Richardson.[18][19] Huntington-Whiteley hit the runway for designers Prada in Milan and Giles Deacon in Paris.[20][21] For SS10 her advertising campaigns included Monsoon's first underwear line, Thomas Wylde, Full Circle, and VS Online.[17][22] In March, she collaborated with VOGUE.COM to share her outfit choices daily for the Today I'm Wearing feature.[11] She appeared on the covers of the May 2010 issues of Harper's Bazaar Russia and GQ UK.[23] She was featured on the cover of LOVE Magazine's September issue, styled as a pinup girl.[24] For FW10 she modelled for Burberry as well as the company's first Beauty line ad; her other advertising campaigns included Loewe, Thomas Wylde, and Leon Max.[17][25][26] Fashion photographer Rankin devoted a book entirely to her titled, Ten Times Rosie. Rankin thinks Huntington-Whiteley puts diversity back into fashion, "We’ve been looking at very, very skinny, almost masculine girls for a long time. [Rosie] really is the model of the moment. She’s the actress of the moment. She’s definitely going to become something much, much bigger."[27][28] Celebrity make-up artist Ruby Hammer, who has worked with Huntington-Whiteley for years, described her as the "quintessential" English rose.[29]
In March 2011, she landed her first solo British Vogue cover.[30] In May, she was voted No. 1 in Maxim Magazine's "Hot 100" list.[31] She was also voted No.1 in FHM's World's Sexiest Woman 2011 poll.[32] She appeared on the covers of the UK's July issues of Elle and GQ.[23][33]
Huntington-Whiteley was unveiled as the face of Burberry's newest fragrance, Burberry Body, in July 2011.[34][35]
As of July 2011, she ranks No. 15 on "The Money Girls" list and No. 3 on the "Top 20 Sexiest Models" list at MODELS.COM.[36][37]
Acting (2011–present)
In May 2010, it was announced that Huntington-Whiteley would become the new female lead in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, released June 29 2011, replacing Megan Fox.[5] She had previously worked with the film's director, Michael Bay, on a Victoria's Secret commercial.[38] MTV Networks' NextMovie.com named her one of the 'Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011'.[39] Prior to the film's release, she won the "Female Star of Tomorrow" award at the 2011 CinemaCon Awards.[40]
Personal life
Huntington-Whiteley dated Tyrone Wood, the youngest son of musician Ronnie Wood, from August 2007 until October 2009.[41] When the pair separated, she began a brief relationship with French actor Olivier Martinez that ended in early 2010.[11][19] In April 2010, it was first reported that she was in a relationship with English actor Jason Statham after they were seen at the Coachella Festival.[11][42]
