Model-turned-actress
Lily Cole says she always knew there would be 'prejudice' when she moved into acting. The '
St. Trinian's
' star has always wanted to be an actress but because of her '
accidental
' success in the fashion industry, she knew there would be people unwilling to take a chance on her.
"It's like a double-edged sword. I think the success I've had in fashion helped me get work in acting. I've wanted to be an actor since I was six, so that was always my first desire."
"Then by accidentally getting involved in modelling in fashion, I think in many ways that opened the doors for me to act and made it easier for me to get into that world. At the same time, I was totally aware that there is a prejudice against models who want to act," Cole said.
