Rosie Huntington-Whitely is the woman on everyone’s lips at the moment. The British model has hit the big time after taking over from Megan Fox as the leading lady in the new Transformers movie, and it’s not even out yet.

Recently topping the Maxim and FHM hottest lists, she revealed to ELLE that she was worked hard to make it and things haven’t always been easy.

In the interview she describes bullying at school and in the modelling industry and opened up to ELLE on being criticised for her weight and the size of her lips. Now it seems she is the one laughing!

Despite being ‘just a big lump from Devon’ as she described herself, Rosie has worked for nine years to reach where she is now and vows not to forget it.

“I come from a farm in the middle of nowhere in England. You have to remember where you come from and who you are.”
