Jump to

From the age of thirteen, Kelly Brook attended the Italia Conti stage school where she studied dance, drama and singing for three years. At sixteen, she began her modeling career. Her stunning looks and voluptuous figure led to her gracing the covers of numerous magazines, including GQ, FHM, Maxim, Sky, Cosmopolitan, Hello, Tatler, The Face, and Company, becoming one of the most recognizable women in Britain. It wasn't long, before Madison Avenue started calling, and, in 1995, she got her first advertising campaign for Lee Jeans. Since then, she's been featured in campaigns for Renault Megane Walkers and Piz Buin. In 1998, she launched the biggest bra campaign ever for Triumph's Flaunt range and was featured on billboards nationwide. Her UK television credits are extensive and include co-hosting Channel 4's popular morning entertainment series The Big Breakfast (1992), and MTV's live two-hour show MTV Select (1996). She also hosted VPL, a magazine lifestyle show for Granada Television, and Oasis: In Concert (2000) for Sky. Her US credits include a four-episode arc on the WB's Smallville (2001), portraying Lex Luthor's girlfriend. She made her feature film debut in the thriller Ripper (2001), and also took her first stage role starring in the play "Eye Contact" at the Riverside Studios in London, in which her character, Anya, explores the world of adult dance clubs from an honest and funny point of view.

One of her first modeling job was for a then-mail-order lingerie company called Bravissimo in the UK. The company specializes in selling bras of large cup sizes.
The University of Texas released their research into what the "ideal" female body would look like, based on hundreds of thousands of interviews. They found that Kelly Brook had the most scientifically perfect female figure.
She has been consistently voted one of England's sexiest women. She was featured as #97 in Maxim magazine's "Hot 100 Women of 2002" supplement. She was ranked #1 in the 2005 FHM list of "100 Sexiest Women in the World". She was ranked #71 on Maxim's Hot 100 Women of 2005 list. In 2007, she came sixth in a Daily Star readers' poll to find the "best breasts in Britain". She was ranked #8 in the 2011 FHM list of "100 Sexiest Women in the World".
She has a brother, Damian, who is two years younger than her. Also has a half-sister, Sasha, whom she credits with getting her into modeling.
She started modeling professionally at 16 and starred in her first advertising campaign for Lee Jeans. Since then, she's been featured in campaigns for Renault Megane, Walkers, and Piz Buin. Her first media break came when the British national tabloid newspaper The Star took an interest in her; it still regularly publishes images of her to this day. She was then recognized by, and is often featured in, the "lads' mags" FHM, Maxim, etc.

The thing is - and this is something that really annoys me - a lot of people mistake lightness for stupidity. If you're cold and mean and dark, you're smart. If you're sweet and charming and you get on with people, then you're not. Then, you're... bubbly.
I am a light person. I think of myself with a shield, a protective shield around me. And I think of bad things bouncing off it. Boom, boom, boom, ba-boom, ba-boom!
I got a lot of "This bloody bitch - she only got the job because of what she looks like.". - as quoted in the September 2002 issue of Playboy magazine
[on potential boyfriends] Someone who's down to earth, funny, good in bed, handsome. Actually, just handsome will do. I'm really shallow at the moment. I'm at that age when I just don't want anything challenging. I haven't got the energy. As long as they're cute, I'm there. And the less they have to say for themselves, the better.
I'm into well-being, not because of social pressures to look a certain way, but because I'm interested in living a long, full and healthy life.
