Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 23, is best known for being a Victoria’s Secret model. But, after the popular underwear brand issued a special video congratulating her for winning a role in the upcoming Transformers 3 movie, it became evident that she was entering the acting world.
Michael Bay confirmed the news on his website saying, “I would like for all you S4TE fans to welcome Rosie Huntington Whitely to the world of Transformers. As some of you might know, she’s the new female lead in Transformers 3.”
Megan Fox, who played the role of Mikaela Banes, love interest of Sam Witwichy (Shia LaBeouf), has insisted that it was her choice to not be in Transformers 3. But, rumors about Fox’s weight have been swirling around. Some claim Michael Bay “thinks she has lost too much weight and looks too frail. He wanted her to put on some weight and it all kicked off.”
Transformers 3 will be released on July 1st 2011. Confirmed cast members include Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy), Frances McDormand (Burn After Reading) and John Malkovich (Jonah Hex).
Filming is currently taking place in L.A. before moving on to Chicago and Florida among other locations.
