" It&amp;#x27;s been 10 years since Rosie Huntington-Whiteley first found her way onto the magazine pages of our international fashion consciousness&amp;amp;#8212;and, recently, The Observer sat down with the supermodel in London to talk about her best-selling bra range as well as her career. Here are some of our favorite fun quotes and facts about Huntington-Whiteley on the occasion of her decade-anniversary in the industry. Her first stab at being fashionable? Buying a pair of fake Uggs on eBay. &amp;quot;I was never particularly fashionable,&amp;quot; she told the Observer. &amp;quot;I remember walking into a restaurant wearing them, and literally everybody turned to look at me, and they all laughed.&amp;quot; She&amp;#x27;s not just a pretty face, she&amp;#x27;s also a lingerie designer. The Rosie for Autograph lingerie collection at British mainstay Marks &amp;amp; Spencer is the best-selling lingerie line in the company&amp;#x27;s history, with more than 600,000 pieces sold so far this year. Even supermodels have a fear of failure! On her role in Transformers: &amp;quot;There was...not a lot of support for me during that time. All of a sudden I&amp;#x27;m on the biggest movie of all time. I&amp;#x27;m on set as a lead role but with no idea what I&amp;#x27;m doing. I took the opportunity, because how was I supposed to say no? People want to see you fall. Your fans want to see you fall. Everyone wants to see you fall.&amp;quot; On how the modeling industry has changed in the past decade. &amp;quot;There&amp;#x27;s been a real shift. It&amp;#x27;s been a funny 10 years to be in the industry. I started in 2003, when castings were sent to me by fax. Now everything is put out on social media as soon as it&amp;#x27;s shot. There&amp;#x27;s more engagement. Everybody wants to know the models. You&amp;#x27;re more real now than ever. You&amp;#x27;re no longer this one-dimensional image. Perhaps the paparazzi is part of that. It&amp;#x27;s more expected now for supermodels to be smart, to have opinions, to have a personality.&amp;quot; But, at the end of the day, Rosie tries to keep it real. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s not like I&amp;#x27;m a nurse or I&amp;#x27;m helping people with their finances. I think it&amp;#x27;s important to be aware of that. I have seen people who think they&amp;#x27;re doing something really noble for the world, and it&amp;#x27;s like: You&amp;#x27;re making a movie. You&amp;#x27;re doing what makes you happy, but get real right now. Certain people take themselves very, very seriously, and it&amp;#x27;s just unnecessary.&amp;quot; What do you think of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley&amp;#x27;s thoughts on modeling and celebrity? She seems pretty grounded, right? Let us know in the comments! Photo: Marks &amp;amp; Spencer"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
