Rob Pattisson..work!
That is, he needs to work out that stomach.

^^& Madame, Gemma & Lily weren't actresses before they were models so i guess they don't apply and yes, Joy Bryant..she's gorgeous!

 

[Mchunu]

oops, wait..Madame..i'm wrong sorry i'm thinking the opposite way

There's a difference between people who did SOME modeling at some point in their lives, versus people who were actual models and are now actors.

Actual models who are now actors: Famke Janssen, Angie Harmon, Michele Hicks, Ashton Kutcher, Andie McDowell, Channing Tatum, Brooke Shields, Milla Jovovich, Monica Bellucci, Renee Russo...

And there are also models who aren't necessarily actors but have had roles in movies:
Paulina Porizkova, Tatjana Patitz, Eve Salvail, Omahyra Mota....

Here's Andie MacDowell for Versace (1984) and Yves Saint-Laurent (1986).

I agree, but I think that it is bound to become a free-for-all in here. As another poster suggested, it might be a little difficult to come up with famous models who became actors.

^I agree.
And I think a thread like this is just for fun anyways. No need to nikpik.....
let's just have fun, fun, fun!

^That being said,

The boys from TV's Lost
all did SOME modelling before becoming actors!

Matthew Fox
Josh Holloway
Ian Somerhalder

Geena Davis - She did Grosvenor Fur ads in the 80s

She was also a Victoria's Secret model.

Mark Wahlberg

Actually he started out as a rapper and then became a celebrity spokesperson for CK Jeans.

Ahh I remember Ian Somerhalder's CK ads
Alessandra Ambrosio had a minor cameo in the recent James Bond movie.
Gisele was in a few movies such as Taxi and Devil Wears Prada.
Of course these are working models who did some minor acting, but not necessarily a full time actor now.
