Vanessa Minnillo is featured in the new issue of Vegas magazine and in it she reveals her desire to act, and in fact she just signed on to star in her first feature film called Redefining Love. Minnillo, who had a cameo in the Fantastic Four sequel, says “When I was on the set of Fantastic Four, I loved it. I respected everyone’s work ethic. It was like a mini-family, and I want to continue doing it, whether it’s action or comedy or action-comedy. I can pull off physical comedy; I’m athletic enough not to get hurt easily.”
“I got to do MTV for four years, ET for two years, then left to put my heart into other things for a while. I just love new experiences. I was an air-force brat that attended eight different schools in my first nine years of school, so I feel I can adjust to anything,” Minnillo tells the mag.
“Acting is a different way to entertain people. Most people know how to be themselves in front of the camera, but interpreting a character takes a lot. Once I get the right role, I’ll just feel it.”
As for her boyfriend of nearly two years, Nick Lachey, Minnillo told People.com recently “He’s very supportive and very calming. He’s one of my biggest cheerleaders.”
Lachey may be supportive, but he takes no part in Minnillo learning her lines. “He’s not helping me run lines,” she said. “I can’t. It’s too embarrassing to try it with him. It’s too nerve wracking. I start to giggle with him and I can’t take him seriously. It’s just one big mess!”
Vanessa begins filming Redefining Love in April in North Carolina.
