Bella Hadid will soon appear in FX’s "The Beauty" — and she’s hoping to stay in the acting world beyond that.

Hadid, a supermodel who rose to fame working with top brands such as Chanel, Dior and Versace, has graced the covers of international Vogue more than 30 times and was named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2022.




Now, after having minor parts in "Ramy" and "Yellowstone", she’s looking to expand her talents into acting following "The Beauty".

While premiering the show in New York City Wednesday night, Hadid opened up about her future goals. “I would love to keep continuing acting after this. This is a dream of mine,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve brought my art side and my creativity to modeling, but at the end of the day, I love being able to move, and I love film and acting in general. I love actors because they can be different characters for so many different people.”




She also noted that a major draw to the project was the opportunity to work with the show’s co-creator, Ryan Murphy.

“Ryan has just an incredible brain. I love his brain. I love his heart,” she said. “He’s somebody I really look up to when it comes to directing, and I think he brings fantasy into so many things. I’m just grateful that he brought me onto this opportunity.”




While Hadid portrays a model in the series — who’s seen going on a vicious rampage in the trailer — teased that her real-life profession doesn’t necessarily translate to what she does on screen.

“The modeling has no connection to what I did on this set, to be honest — it was the complete opposite of anything I’ve ever done,” she told THR.
