Lily Cole is fed up of modeling.

The 21-year-old beauty wants to veer away from the fashion and beauty industry and instead plans to spend the rest of her working days focusing on her acting career.

“I’d like to act and not really model so much. I wouldn’t want to treat acting as a convenient thing to do now and again. I’ve been doing modeling for years and I feel like I’ve taken out of it what I need to and I’m ready for new things.”

The British starlet appeared in two movies, St. Trinian’s and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus recently, and is currently working on a further two projects - Phantasmagoria: The Visions Of Lewis Carroll and There Be Dragons.

Despite her success on the catwalk, the leggy starlet says she prefers the “process” of working on the big screen: “I’ve really enjoyed the process of acting and I’d be more inclined to dedicate my time to that.”
