Agyness Deyn Has Officially Retired From Modeling

Agyness Deyn's appearance on the Summer cover of i-D magazine may have been the last job of her modeling career.



Agyness Deyn's appearance on the Summer cover of i-D magazine may have been the last job of her modeling career. Deyn, who's now pursuing a career in acting, said in a recent interview that she's "stopped modelling officially."

Deyn told The Independent, "I've not done any for a good long while now. I think it was about four years ago when my feelings were changing towards the industry. I didn't hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. It was a gradual thing."

Deyn has a supporting role in the upcoming film Pusher, which premieres next month, but she first started appearing in films in 2010. That year, she starred in the short Mean to Me and played the role of Aphrodite in Clash of the Titans.

Still, Deyn's drift from modeling into acting doesn't mean she didn't like walking down runways and appearing in ad campaigns.

"Oh god, I loved it," she said. "Being 18 years old, from Manchester, and suddenly having this new world to explore — being able to travel, meet all these different people, and immerse myself in all these different cultures — was just so much fun."

A look at all the fun Deyn has been having in her new career as an actor, here.

Say What? Barbra Streisand Was Told Women Are Frivolous

"Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.


"Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world. 'What do you mean you're going to direct? Women are the actresses, they're frivolous, not the ones responsible for finances.' That really got me."

— Singer, actress, and director Barbra Streisand talks about not being taken seriously in this week's issue of Parade magazine. In addition to a very prolific acting career, Streisand directed Yentl and Prince of Tides.
