Starting out as a rural farm girl, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was born on April 18, 1987, in Plymouth, Devon, England. She started modeling when she was 16. Before long, Huntington-Whiteley appeared in top fashion magazines and ads for such brands as Tommy Hilfiger and Burberry. In 2011, Huntington-Whiteley added actress to her list of accomplishments with a starring role in the hit film Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
While she covered her room with pictures of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, Huntington-Whiteley didn't dream of being model at first. She simply aspired to their glamorous urban lifestyle. She, too, wanted to live in a big city and to escape her "pretty boring" life on the farm. At fifteen, Huntington-Whiteley got a work placement, a type of paid internship, at a modeling agency in London. There she got her first glimpse inside the modeling world, handling all sorts of odd jobs for the agency.
