Model-actress Lily Cole has quit full-time modelling in order to focus on her acting career.
Cole, 25, who has become one of the world's most recognisable models in recent years, said she never considered modelling a long-term plan, reported Digital Spy.
"I'm not modelling anymore. It's been a crazy journey since first being spotted but modelling never felt like a long-term plan.
"I've wanted to act since I was a child. I've also got a geeky side, so I'm now involved in a project within the tech industry," she said.
The British model has appeared in a number of films, including starring roles in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus' and last year's 'Snow White and the Huntsman'.
She also starred in the Doctor Who episode 'The Curse of the Black Spot' in 2011.
