MONICA BELLUCCI

Do you know Monica Bellucci for playing Persephone in The Matrix saga? She was great in that role but acting was not her first love. The Italian star actually kicked off her career by modeling for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Dior. When it comes to her filmography, she has appeared in movies such as The Passion of Christ and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Over the years, she has been dubbed one of the most gorgeous women in the world and even brought home accolades like the European Golden Globe. She also received the Silver Ribbon for Best Supporting Actress award. Even though her acting career has since slowed down, we are sure that her career is far from over. There is no doubt in our minds that we will see more of this stunning woman in the future.

KATE UPTON

Isn’t it neat to learn that Kate Upton got offered a contract when she went to a casting call for Elite Model Management? She then relocated to New York and joined IMG models later on. A lot of people know her best for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, although she also worked with Guess and other fashion brands. The first movie that she ever worked on is called The Other Woman. She was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for this role, which is pretty impressive for a debut! She then got cast to appear in The Layover, as well as The Disaster Artist. Even though both her acting and modeling career have slowed down since then, we are sure that she is happy where she is. She and Justin Verlander are married and have a daughter together.
