Kate Moss has made her first movie debut in a series of short films for lingerie firm Agent Provocateur's website – and the images have caused such a sensation the site crashed under the demand.
The four films, which will be released over the next few weeks, last just four minutes and show the supermodel acting out a seductive dream sequence in various states of undress. Leaving Las Vegas director Mike Figgis, who shot the films over two nights in a mansion in London's Portland Place, revealed that the beauty was more nervous about her strong Croydon accent than stripping off for the cameras.
"She was insecure about her voice," he said. "But she's got a nice voice." And he was clearly impressed by her acting efforts. "At the end I said to Kate, 'Listen, you're okay as an actress.' Kate, meanwhile, had jumped at the opportunity to work with Mike. "The films look amazing and I'm thrilled with the result," she says.
The 32-year-old's modelling career is looking better than ever, with campaigns for labels such as Calvin Klein, Burberry and Longchamp set to appear this autumn. But her latest role is perhaps a tentative step to more on-screen parts – she is reported to be taking the lead role in a film about Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Her only previous acting experience has been as a pole dancer in a White Stripes' music video directed by Sofia Coppola.
Also looking to strut her stuff in her undies is Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding. The singer has landed a modelling deal to be the new face of lingerie firm Ultimo, following in the footsteps of Rachel Hunter and Helena Christensen. The blonde bombshell will receive a £100,000 pay cheque to front the new campaign. "Sarah isn't afraid of showing off her body – she's got a great figure and she knows it," a source told a British newspaper.
