Strutting on the runway isn’t the only thing that excites the sultry supermodel Adriana Lima, a good Quentin Tarantino film does the job quite well. While most of us believe that being Victoria’s secret Angel is all a model wants to achieve, this Victoria’s Secret angel completely surprised us when she revealed her big dream with The New York Post’s Page Six,
'My dream role is with Quentin Tarantino. Fingers crossed. I haven't had a chance to tell him that directly.’
She expressed more of her passion for acting when at the Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York City. "I'm just waiting for someone to see me. I'm like, 'Hello, I'm here.' "

Apparently this is not the first time, Adriana Lima has shown interest in acting. She starred in 2001 movie The Follow and in a multiple TV series How I Met Your Mother, The Crazy Ones, and Ugly Betty. This time, it’s not just wanting to work with Quentin Tarantino. In fact, the 35-year-old supermodel is really focusing on establishing herself as an actress.
Looks like Lima has a good shot at working in a Tarantino film as a casting advert for his next project was recently out which asked for "Caucasian, non-union females, ages 18-35" to play prostitutes in a western.
However, this does not mean Lima’s kissing goodbye to her uber-successful modelling career.
