Kelly Brook: 'I'm serious about acting'

Kelly Brook has said that she does not mind being cast in acting roles because of her looks.

The model stars in upcoming horror film Piranha 3D and has also recorded a part in the next series of E4 teen drama Skins.

Of claims that she wins roles because of her appearance, Brook told Fox411 at Comic-Con: "It doesn't mean I'm less serious.

"If people want to cast me in roles because of my body or how I look, then I'm just going to embrace that, because that's not going to be the case forever and I'm pretty serious about what I do."

She added: "I love what I do, and I approach every job with professionalism and enthusiasm. It doesn't make me any less important than anyone else in the movie, just because of the fact that I'm in a bikini.

"People like to dumb it down, which is fine, I've got no issue with that. I'm happy with what I do and what I bring to the table and that's all that matters really."

Asked how much of the film she wears a bikini for, she replied: "Pretty much all of it! Which I was really grateful for, because I was filming in 115 degree heat and we filmed the whole movie in Lake Havasu in Arizona.

"It was such a trip, it was an amazing experience because I got to work with Jerry O'Connell and Paul Scheer who are just hilarious. There's lots of me in a bikini - lots of other girls are wearing even less, so you'd like that as well!"
