Kate Upton admits she struggling to get castings for films because of her curves.
The Sports Illustrated model, who stars in new movie 'The Other Woman' alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, found it difficult when she first started going for auditions for films because agents weren't sure if her hourglass figure was right for the big screen.
She told the new issue of British VOGUE: "It's weird that in the press they'll be like, 'Your biggest fight was with the industry and the designers', and I'm like, no, my biggest fight was with my agents, trying to get them to sign me into the castings.
"I thought, how I'm going to come out of this will be an example for girls."
Kate features on the cover of the latest issue of VOGUE in a vintage-style bikini and dazzles inside the publication in a photo shoot by celebrated photograph Mario Testino.
The 21-year-old blonde star, who has earned comparisons to iconic actress Marilyn Monroe, gushed about her idol, who also started her career as a model before starring in films such as 'Some Like Hot'.
She said: "I always thought Marilyn was so beautiful and iconic, it was amazing to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her. "

George Clooney "immediately" hit it off with his fiancée's family.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - whose engagement to the human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin was announced this week - visited Dubai to meet the brunette beauty's family in March and bonded with her siblings during a yacht excursion.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: "They found George very easy to get along with, cool. They felt at ease with him immediately."
The 52-year-old star proposed to Amal on April 22 and during a private dinner on April 27 she showed off the new ring - an emerald-cut diamond, which is estimated at seven-plus carats.
The couple celebrated the news with close friends Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, in Santa Barbara, where they were also toasting Rande's 52nd birthday.
George and Amal, 36, met at a small charity fundraiser last September and although he was instantly attracted to her it is said she was unimpressed by his Hollywood stature and failed to be won over by his charm.
The hunky actor managed to obtain her number and called her the following morning to ask her out, but had to work hard to get her to agree to meet him.
Sources say when they finally went out she was impressed with his charitable and humanitarian endeavours.

The-Dream faces police questioning for allegedly attacking his pregnant ex-girlfriend.
Officers in New York are keen to question the producer - whose real name is Terius Nash - after Lydia Nam claimed he punched, kicked and strangled her at the Plaza Hotel in April 2013 three months before she gave birth to their son.
However, The-Dream - who also has a four-year-old daughter, Violet, with ex-wife Christina Milian and three other children with first wife Nivea - insists the allegations are false and sources told TMZ that Canadian Lydia is a "vengeful woman" who has made the claims in order to extend her US visa.
It is unclear what prompted the alleged attack, or if Lydia ever sought medical attention afterwards.
Despite claiming the incident happened last April, she didn't file a police report until November.
According to law enforcement insiders, the 36-year-old musician was arrested last June in California following another alleged domestic violence incident against Lydia.
However, she refused to press charges so the case was rejected by the District Attorney.
If the 'Black' singer is found by police, he will be taken into custody for questioning about the alleged incident.

Charlie Sheen's fiancée Brett Rossi's divorce has been finalised.
The 'Anger Management' star is one step closer to walking down the aisle with his porn star partner after her divorce from her first husband John Ross finally came through on April 18.
According to court records obtained by RadarOnline.com, the termination date was cited in a judgment on April 23.
Brett, 24, has been involved in a legal battle with her ex-husband since he filed for divorce from her on July 18, 2013, but only responded to the documents on January 30, 2014 after falling for Charlie.
And it seems Charlie and Brett - who got engaged in February after just three months of dating - won't be rushing into things since they are now planning to tie the knot on November 22.
A source told the site: "The wedding date has been set for November 22, 2014. It's going to be extremely elaborate, and Charlie has told Brett to plan the wedding of her dreams, with no cap on the budget."
The couple are expected to get a pre-nup before their big day this autumn due to the 48-year-old actor's estimated $125 million net worth, largely thanks to his stint on sitcom 'Two and a Half Men'.
The insider added: "Charlie will be a little more generous with Brett in regards to the pre-nup, than he was with [his ex-wife] Brooke [Mueller]."
'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Brooke walked away from the marriage with an estimated $3.5 million, and the warring exes appear to have finally settled their differences after rowing over the custody of their twin sons Bob and Max, five, since she is expected to be a guest of honour at Charlie's fourth wedding.

Dean McDermott felt suicidal after cheating on Tori Spelling.
The star admitted he contemplated taking his own life following his cheating scandal last December in yesterday's episode (29.04.14) of 'True Tori', which was filmed three months after he was unfaithful to his wife with 28-year-old Emily Goodhand during a trip to Toronto.
The actor spoke candidly to the cameras about suffering a mental breakdown, recalling looking out of a window and thinking how easily he could "just dive out of it."
He sighed: "The days leading up to my breakdown, I wanted to disappear. I didn't want to feel what I was feeling all the time. I just thought, 'This is it. You can't get out of this. I blew it. Everything great in my life, I s**t on.' I just thought, 'Tori deserves me to die'."
The shocking confession lead to 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star Tori taking her husband aside to ask if he was comfortable sharing such intimate thoughts, and producers bringing a psychologist on board to help him through his issues.
Dean later reasoned: "I know I will not take my life. My life means a lot to me right now, where it didn't for so many, many years...
"My life means something because I'm getting the help that I need, and I'm surrounded by love and support, and for the longest time, I didn't deserve it and I'm just getting a little glimmer that I do deserve it...I know I don't deserve to die. I deserve to live."
The couple are determined to work their problems out for the sake of their kids, Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and Finn, 20 months.
When Tori spent six days in hospital last week, reportedly to be treated for an ulcer and migraines, Dean was constantly at her bedside.

Gwyneth Paltrow says singing is her favourite "side job".
The 41-year-old actress took to the stage with country singer Holly Williams at Los Angeles' legendary Roxy Theatre on Monday night (28.04.14) and later revealed on Twitter that music comes a close second to acting for her.
Sharing a picture of the set, she posted on the social networking site: "Singing back-up, my favorite side job @hollywilliams1 @colemantime #latergram".
The actress surprised fans by jumping on stage with singer-songwriter Holly, who was supporting country rocker Jason Isbell, swaying from side-to-side in time with the music.
The 'Iron Man 3' star - who has children Apple, nine, and Moses, eight with estranged husband Chris Martin - will no doubt have picked up some tips from the Coldplay frontman, who she split from in March after 10 years of marriage.
The 'Sliding Doors' star has shown off her vocal pipes in the past with a role on hit musical TV show 'Glee', playing Spanish substitute teacher Holly Holliday.
She also starred as an alcoholic Nashville singer in 2010 movie 'Country Strong', a part for which she asked her good pal Beyonce for advice, as well as observing the superstar in action to pick up performance tips.
She explained: "I watched her [perform] a lot to see how she did it, and I was like 'S**t! I can't do that!'"

George Clooney's new fiancée snubbed him three times before agreeing to go out on a date.
The 'Monuments Men' star - whose engagement to Amal Alamuddin was announced this week - met the human rights lawyer at a "small charity fundraiser" last September and despite being instantly attracted to her, she was unimpressed by his Hollywood stature and failed to be won over by his charm.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "George immediately honed in on Amal and was formally introduced to her. He had no idea she was such an accomplished lawyer!
"She was engaging in the conversation after the introduction was made, and then did the unthinkable. Amal walked away from the group George was with! He was instantly more intrigued by her. George then inserted himself into another group Amal was talking with. She just wasn't impressed by the Hollywood actor persona.
"George asked for her phone number at the end of the night, and she refused to give it to him! Again, another first."
The hunky actor managed to obtain her number and called her the following morning to ask her out, but had to work hard to get her to agree to meet.
The source added: "She turned him down! He was absolutely shocked. No one turns George down for a date. Amal had no interest in dating an actor, but George was eventually able to convince her to go out with him to discuss his humanitarian work."
However, once they finally went out, the 36-year-old beauty was very impressed with George, 52, and his charitable and humanitarian endeavours.
The source said: "After their first date, Amal was extremely impressed with George's work in Darfur, and realised that he was much more than an actor."
