The "St. Trinian's" star has always wanted to be an actress but because of her "accidental" success in the fashion industry, she knew there would be people unwilling to take a chance on her, reported Femalefirst.
"It's like a double-edged sword. I think the success I've had in fashion helped me get work in acting. I've wanted to be an actor since I was six, so that was always my first desire.
"Then by accidentally getting involved in modelling in fashion, I think in many ways that opened the doors for me to act and made it easier for me to get into that world. At the same time, I was totally aware that there is a prejudice against models who want to act," Cole says.
