3. Silver Screen Debut: Transformers & Beyond
Stepping into Megan Fox’s Shoes
In 2011, Rosie made a bold leap from modeling to acting, landing the high-pressure role of Carly Spencer in Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” She replaced Megan Fox, stepping into a major blockbuster franchise. While the transition garnered significant media attention (and inevitable comparisons), Rosie approached the challenge with professionalism. She undertook acting lessons and performed many of her own stunts, demonstrating her work ethic. The film was a massive commercial success, grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide, instantly making Rosie a recognizable face to an even broader, non-fashion audience.
Refining the Craft: “Mad Max” and Future Prospects
Rosie further explored acting with a supporting role as The Splendid Angharad in George Miller’s critically acclaimed “Mad Max: Fury Road” (2015). Though a smaller role, being part of such a groundbreaking cinematic achievement added depth to her filmography. She also appeared in the short-lived series “The Take” (2009) based on a Martina Cole novel. While acting hasn’t become her primary focus like modeling and business, her performances showcased potential and a willingness to step outside her comfort zone. She remains open to compelling scripts that fit her life and schedule.
