Kate Upton says she was “completely out of her league” next to Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann on the set of “The Other Woman.” “
“I make no bones about it,” she tells V Magazine’s spring issue of her role. “I just listened and paid attention.”
In the movie, out April 25, Upton plays a blond bombshell who teams with two other jilted women to exact revenge on a cheating cad played by “Game of Thrones” hunk Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
Upton, famed for landing back-to-back Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers in 2012 and 2013, refers to her ample bosom as “the ladies.”
She tells writer Horacio Silva, “Everyone brings them up, so I have to have something to call them.”
She’s since gone from modeling bikinis to high fashion, appearing on the covers of Vogue, Elle and Vanity Fair.
But she still can’t forget being criticized by a Victoria’s Secret casting director in 2012 who told the New York Times the model was “too obvious” to appear in the line’s runway show.
“I had just gotten my cover of Sports Illustrated that day,” she says. “I wasn’t used to that kind of media swirl. I had never met her, so it really came out of nowhere. It was my introduction to being in the spotlight and having people you’ve never met have an opinion of you.”
