A source told The Sun: ‘Cara is a front-runner for a part. She’s desperate to get the gig and has always said that she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress.’ Insiders have revealed that Cara became close friends with actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson during her film debut in the 2012 Hollywood remake of Anna Karenina, alongside Keira Knightley and Jude Law.
And it just so happens that Aaron’s wife Sam Taylor Wood is directing the upcoming Fifty Shades movie. The source added: ‘[Cara] is a global icon now and a good actress as well and Sam wants her in the movie’ Anyone who has been following the model of the year, they will know that ambitious Cara doesn’t just settle for one job at a time.
The supermodel, who walked in over 30 shows in fashion week last season, is also keen to break into the music industry. She recently begged rapper Pharrell Williams to team up for some recording studio sessions after starring in a shoot with him in Vogue’s September Issue.
