Top Model Noot Seear Takes Her Career in a New Direction As a Star of New Moon
Noot has been chosen to play the role of Heidi, part of the terrifying vampire guard the Volturi.
With her imposing beauty, Heidi acts as bait to entice unsuspecting humans back to the group of vampires.
The twenty-five year old model, who has modelled for the likes of Alexander Wang and Chanel, has wanted to break into acting for a while and this role is the perfect opportunity for her.
Director of New Moon, Chris Weitz, explained to fashion news website WWD.
com exactly why the model was selected for the part.
"We wanted someone who had an unearthly and unlikely beauty, but could also convey humour and menace," he said.
"It's rare to find a stunningly attractive person who also happens to have the ability to act.
" Having different talents doesn't just improve fashion models' chances of getting work in the first place, it also means more career options if and when the work dries up.
"Having additional skills and talents will have a massive impact on your modelling career," says Damian O'Connor, Managing Director of top European modelling agency Models Direct.
"You'll have the best chance of finding the kind of work you're after, diversifying into different fields and getting a good flow of modelling work.
" The four books in The Twilight Saga, on which the films are based, have been extremely successful, generating a huge following of both teenagers and more mature readers.
The success of both the books and the first film means that the young (and very attractive) stars of Twilight have seen their celebrity status soar.
This is particularly true of heartthrob Robert Pattinson, lovable Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart, probably the most envied woman of 2009.
Will Noot achieve the same success after appearing in the highly anticipated new film? We'll just have to wait and see.
You can catch her on the big screen when New Moon is released in cinemas in November.
