Monica Schipper/FilmMagicKate Upton is not only a bikini babe, but she's also a high-fashion model and a movie star—who's not slowing down anytime soon.
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 Diaz and Leslie Mann and they were the most inspirational and amazing women I had the honor to work with," the blond beauty gushed to E! News while promoting her partnership with Gillette and Movember. "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 (Leslie Mann) and other mistress (Upton) to plot revenge.
And while the cast certainly looked like they had a lot of fun on set (Cam was seen sporting a baby bump while Kate was spotted flashing some serious cleavage), the Sports Illustrated star also said she learned a great deal from her talented costars.
"You know what? They helped me in every way," she revealed. "My life, and you know, how to feel confident in creating the role and being the character."
Sounds like the ladies quickly became BFFs, and Upton responded "yes" without any hesitation when asked if the threesome developed a friendship.
As for what kind of role the curvaceous beauty 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. "Honestly, I don't know what my strengths are; I'm just trying to find my niche in the acting world," she said, adding that she definitely sees acting in her future.
The young star, who was recently named the 2013 Model of 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," she said. "I've worked with some of the most iconic people and I've been very grateful for the whole experience, 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."
For Upton, it seems like it's only up from here.
