She has been trying her hand at a spot of acting appearing as Aphrodite in the Clash of the Titans remake and a couple of music videos.
But supermodel Agyness Deyn has swapped the catwalk for a more prominent part as she makes her lead role debut - as a stripper.
The 28-year-old stars in the remake of a a Danish film called Pusher, with the first stills from the movie released today.

Agyness plays Flo, who is described as a 'strong-minded' stripper, in the movie which was made by Spanish film director Luis Prieto in London earlier this year.
It tells the story of a week in the life of drug dealer Frank, played by Richard Coyle, in London and whose life soon spins out of control.
Coyle, 39, is best known for his roles as Welsh Jeff in the BBC comedy Coupling and more recently as William Winthrop in Madonna's feature-directorial debut W.E.

Agyness has dabbled in some acting prior to Pusher, starring as the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite in the Clash of the Titans remake.
She has also starred in a couple of music videos for Five O'Clock Heroes and Woodkid.
But her role in Pusher is her first lead and speaking to the Evening Standard, she said: 'When I did Pusher in the summer, it was like: this is what I'm supposed to be doing.
'I just loved it so much and it excites me to be able to do it. I want to do it as much as possible - film, theatre, everything.'
And it would seem that she has really been bitten by the acting bug as she is set to make her theatre debut - and it's not too far removed from her role in Pusher.
Deyn will star in the British premiere of The Leisure Society, a dark comedy about a disastrous dinner party, as Paula, a promiscuous 'free-spirited' woman alongside Ed Stoppard.
But she has no plans to give up modelling and told the Standard: 'They're both creative.'
And director Harry Burton said: 'Everybody who knows about Pusher thinks Agyness is genuinely talented.'
Pusher is due for release in the UK later this year.
