Bella Hadid was offered 'words of wisdom' by her The Beauty co-stars

Supermodel Bella Hadid discusses her acting debut in 'The Beauty,' seeking guidance from co-stars and hoping for more roles after working with Ryan Murphy.

"I want you to make me look haggard. I never want to be the girl next door. - Bella Hadid"

Los Angeles, Jan 19

Supermodel Bella Hadid, who has a role in the sci-fi body horror series "The Beauty", relished the chance to pick the brains of more experienced actors as she stars in Ryan Murphy's new show.

She welcomed the guidance of more experienced actors such as Jeremy Pope and Ashton Kutcher.

Bella told people.com at the show's New York City premiere: "They were able to just tell me a lot of words and wisdom and explain to me that even being crazy and weird is still positive. And sometimes things are embarrassing and at the end of the day, it's not embarrassing.

"We're all able to be different versions of ourselves and that's what was most important for me on this set."

She often filmed separately from her co-stars but still found them "so impactful," reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Bella said: "Ashton was so helpful with just little words. I love Jeremy so much, everybody was just so welcoming to me. We were not really shooting on the same sets most of the time. We had one dinner together, which was awesome."

She plays a model on a murderous rampage in The Beauty and hopes that her work on Ryan Murphy's series leads to more acting roles in the future.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I would love to keep continuing acting after this. This is a dream of mine. I've brought my art side and my creativity to modelling, 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 added of working with American Horror Story creator Murphy: "Ryan has just an incredible brain. I love his brain. I love his heart. 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."

The sister of Gigi Hadid explained that she wanted to be pushed out of her "comfort zone" by playing a "haggard" character.

She said: "When I spoke to Ryan in the beginning, it was very much about being able to go out of my comfort zone. I said: 'Ryan, I want you to make me look haggard'. I never want to be the girl next door. I told all of my agents. I think I definitely went out of my comfort zone in many different ways. But he pushed me to be a different version of myself, which I've always wanted to do."

Honestly, I find these Hollywood articles a bit disconnected from our daily lives here. While it's nice she's pursuing her dream, there are so many talented actors in India struggling for a single break. The privilege is real.

The part about welcoming guidance from experienced co-stars is so important. In any field, having a guru or mentor makes all the difference. Glad Ashton and Jeremy were there for her. Hope the show does well!

"Even being crazy and weird is still positive" – I love that advice! It's a good reminder for everyone, especially in a country like India where there's sometimes pressure to conform. Embracing your uniqueness is key.

Ryan Murphy is a genius creator. If he's chosen Bella, she must have something special. Looking forward to seeing how she translates from the runway to a murderous rampage on screen. The premise sounds wild!

It's interesting she mentions filming separately but still finding the co-stars impactful. Reminds me of how some of our Indian film stars shoot for different 'portions' separately. The final magic happens in editing! Hope her dream of continuing acting comes true.
