And because performing for a game involves real acting. The way they create a game is very similar now to how they create a film. I've always wanted to stretch my acting skills, and the timing being what it is, I couldn't say no.
For this game, we shot it just like it as if it was a film so there wasn't that much different from doing a film other than some technical things for the costume that had to be done so they could transfer the footage later and make it look animated.
Having your own character in a video game is pretty cool.
I could lie and tell you I'm a hardcore gamer - I'm not.
I did a little voiceover for the game they made out of Van Helsing, this movie I did, and it's kind of hard watching an animated figure of yourself.
I do like to drive fast and I have gotten pulled over in the past. I use my skills to get out of tickets.
I have a Volvo S60R and it's a pretty fast car, the R says it all.
I would love to play the Femme Fatale or an action role like Trinity in the Matrix or something like that. You know, a part with a lot of costume changes.
I'm still figuring out why people would want to look at me. Maybe it's generic beauty, but it's weird to be valued for something I was born with.
I've been in plenty of situations where someone I'm dating had more time for a console than me.
Like most celebrities, of course, I adore all the Mario games.
Modeling isn't all that tough.
Part of the challenge of Most Wanted is trying to become the most notorious street racer on the pavement.
The roughest part of that lifestyle is the travel and early mornings.
Working on Most Wanted has been a great experience. If they'll have me back, I'd be happy to get with more games.
