Kate Upton on playing ‘The Other Woman’

CEBU, Philippines - Kate Upton is not only a bikini babe, but she’s also a high-fashion model and a movie star. The 21-year-old stunner recently completed filming her upcoming flick, “The Other Woman,” in which she stars alongside Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz, and according to the blond beauty, she could not have had a better experience.

“I was on set with Cameron and Leslie and they were the most inspirational and amazing women I had the honor to work with,” she gushed to E! News. “They were really helpful in my experience with the movie, and I really appreciated all of their advice and all of their encouragement throughout the movie set.”

The Nick Cassavetes-directed flick tells the story of a woman (Diaz), who, upon finding out she’s not her boyfriend’s (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) primary lover, teams up with his wife (Mann) and other mistress (Upton) to plot revenge.

The Sports Illustrated star also said she learned a great deal from her talented costars. “They helped me in every way,” she revealed. “My life, and how to feel confident in creating the role and being the character.”

As for what kind of  role she hopes to take on next? “I’m not really sure what I want my next role to be, but I just really want to feel confident and feel like it’s a good choice for me because I’m such a new actress,” she shared.

Upton, who was recently named the 2013 Model of  the Year, also has no plans of slowing down when it comes to her modeling career despite her immense success this year.

“For me, it’s been such an amazing year and such a great experience. I’ve worked with some of the most iconic people, but I still feel like it’s just the beginning, and I have a lot of ways to grow and I just want to continue in this direction.” (FREEMAN)
