Helen Flanagan wants to pose for playboy like Marilyn Monroe

Model-actress Helen Flanagan says she is keen to emulate her icon Marilyn Monroe, who stripped off for Playboy's very first issue in December 1953.

The 23-year-old 'Coronation Street' actress said she enjoys modelling and has fun while doing it, reported Daily Mirror.

"I'd love to do Playboy. I mean Marilyn Monroe did Playboy and she's my idol. I've always enjoyed modelling - you can play with it and have fun and all my work is tasteful," Flanagan said.
