The world is practically Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's oyster; after thriving as a fashion and lingerie model ever since she first made her debut in 2006, she has since been cited as one of the most desirable women on the planet - and she's a Hollywood actress, too!

Unfortunately for Huntington-Whiteley, the critics weren't as kind about her acting as they were her figure: "Her acting makes Megan Fox look like Meryl Streep," wrote critic Lou Lumenick.

To celebrate Huntington-Whiteley's latest performance (really: it's quite good), here are 10 things you probably didn't know about the British model and actress...
