Hayley Atwell snubbed modelling career

Hayley Atwell snubbed a modelling career when she was younger over fears the British actress would be "very restless" in the profession.

The Captain America: The First Avenger star met with bosses at the Storm agency over a possible job, but she ultimately decided she wanted a different career.

She tells The Independent Magazine, "I can't imagine it if beauty was the only currency I used as an actress. It just doesn't interest me.

"I remember there was an opportunity when I was younger to model... I went to Storm modelling agency and the woman just went 'I think you'd be really bored'. Not to say I haven't met incredibly bright models but I'd feel very, very restless."
