Emily Ratajkowski will only make movies where her character has more to do than just be a love interest.
"I'm always looking for scripts that pass the Bechdel test and this is definitely one where you see a character in their own world and their story through their perspective not just a male perspective, and that's exciting for me," she said.
She doesn't want to get typecast as a"hot girl" so is thankful she still has a successful modelling career because it means she can afford to be choosy about her acting work.
"That's basically my strategy...and part of the reason I'm so grateful I have modelling and so many other things that I'm doing because if I didn't have other ways of making money, I'd be like, 'Okay, I guess I'm doing the bathing-suit-girl role'," Ratajkowski said.
She's willing to wait as long as it takes to be able to"prove" herself as a credible and diverse actress.
"You really have to prove yourself in this industry and I'm very much up for the challenge. It takes a really long time to not only prove yourself, but also prove that you're more dynamic than just this one part of you that they see," she added.
