AUSTRALIAN supermodel Nicole Trunfio has decided to ditch runway catfights to pursue an acting career.
Her days of striking poses for designers such as Chanel and Valentino have been kicked to the kerb so she can focus on a job that doesn't bore her.
The Perth-raised beauty, who recently paid $1.7 million for a New York apartment, will make her movie debut in Two Fists, One Heart, a semi-autobiographical tale of West Australian champion boxer Rai Fazio.
"I was getting really bored with modelling, so I started acting classes and really enjoyed it," Trunfio, 21, said.
"On the set, everyone is so real, nice and humble, which is totally, totally different (from the modelling scene).
"I just feel that when you act, you have a craft, whereas with modelling I don't feel that.
"Acting is a real craft, a real talent and I find it definitely more challenging."
