Lily Cole Planning to Retire From Modeling

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Rumors,

As much as it was hoped to be a rumor, Lily Cole is seriously considering to retire from modeling.

The flame-haired British beauty admits her heart lies in acting, and her days left in the modeling world may be numbered.

“I love acting and if the right opportunity did come along I would definitely consider quitting altogether. It is certainly something I want to prioritize in the future. It’s not a finite decision though - I may not get the opportunity. If a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came along I’d even consider leaving Cambridge University to do a film. I’d definitely weigh up my options and talk to my tutors about flexibility.”

The 22-year-old model, however, admits her time in the industry has helped her develop as an actress.

“It’s hard to distinguish whether it has helped but I don’t know any other way. It’s definitely helped confidence wise. I find acting much more of a challenge - acting is definitely harder.”

Recently Lily confessed she was not into following trends and prefers to wear timeless pieces: “To be honest, I’m not a huge follower of trends. I just go with what I feel and what I like, I have a lot of things in my wardrobe that like I consider quite timeless and that I’ll wear again and again through the years.”

Lily Cole is fed up of modeling.

The 21-year-old beauty wants to veer away from the fashion and beauty industry and instead plans to spend the rest of her working days focusing on her acting career.

“I’d like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn’t want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I’ve been doing modeling for years and I feel like I’ve taken out of it what I need to and I’m ready for new things.”

Dolce and Gabbana Say Working on Nine Was a Dream

Dolce and Gabbana admit starring in Nine was a “dream come true.”

Prestigious fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana - who make a brief appearance in the romantic musical movie - were desperate to work on the project inspired by Italian firm director Federico Fellini because he is a movie “maestro.”

“We wanted so much to be part of this project! Federico Fellini has always been one of our greatest sources of inspiration, one of the most important Italian directors. For us, being part of a movie inspired by the work of the maestro is like a dream come true.”

Despite only appearing on-screen for a short while, the designing duo were thrilled to work on the celebrity-filled film, which stars Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Fergie, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Daniel Day-Lewis.

They added to People, “Rob Marshall did an amazing work and the cast is amazing! He was able to put together the most beautiful and talented actresses of various generations and great actors. We couldn’t be more happy to be chosen, even if for a short appearance.”

Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on Acting

“You know, I used to act when I was younger, but I quit. I did it from about 17 to 24. I was too self-conscious. I didn’t like it. I wasn’t in control.”

- Fashion designer and budding film director Tom Ford on why we’ll never see him on the opposite end of the camera (not surprising, either).
