Model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley revealed she loved getting stuck into the stunts in the new Transformers movie.
The 24-year-old British Burberry model makes her debut acting role as Carly Miller in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Huntington-Whiteley, voted FHM's Sexiest Woman In the World 2011 and dressed in Burberry, and director Michael Bay introduced the 3D action movie at a special fan screening at the BFI IMAX in London on Sunday.

Huntington-Whiteley said the action shots were the most fun part of filming and the most exciting.
"To go up on wires and to shoot through explosions and driving fast cars, and have four cars explode behind you, was really very exciting and it was when I felt most present as an actress and I had a lot of fun doing that stuff."
Shia LaBeouf returns as Sam Witwicky in the second Transformers sequel, who finds a new love interest in Carly, as he tries to move on from girlfriend Mikaela, played by Megan Fox in the first two films.
Fox was reportedly fired from Transformers 3 at the request of producer Steven Spielberg after controversial comments she made about Bay in an interview with Wonderland magazine in 2009.
Bay says when he offered Huntington-Whiteley the role, she thought he was joking.
"Well I love discovering people and out of 500 women around the world there was something about her.
"I saw her on a Victoria's Secrets commercial. I didn't think I'd ever, ever hire a model and there was just something about her.
"When I was talking to her and I said 'Would you ever want to get into movies' and she said 'I'd love to' so I wrote her an e-mail. I said this could be a life changing thing, these e-mails don't really happen much in life and would you be interested in auditioning for me and she thought I was joking. And she freaked out.
"But she did a really good job. She comes off as really sincere. She's got a lot of natural talent."
Huntington-Whiteley is keen to reprise her role if there is another Transformers movie in the franchise, and to continue her acting career.
"I would love to try my hand at everything. I think that's what this film taught me. I had never even anticipated that I would get to make a film or get to act. So to try my hand at something and to really open myself up to something new has taught me to always stay open and you never know what the future's going to bring."
Bay admitted making the film in 3D had been a challenge but he had worked hard not to disappoint Avatar director James Cameron.
"Jim Cameron was the one who really pushed me to do this. He said he'd been a little disappointed how people are using 3D as an afterthought not a forethought. But he knew I would do it right.
"So it's been a lot of work. 3D's a pain in the ass but it's great and it's gone well. It's a pain in the ass because it's a lot of technical things still emerging. It takes a lot of people to do it.
"You can't just shoot it and it comes out perfect. There's a lot of stuff that would really bore your audience. It's a nightmare but it's great when it works."
Transformers3: Dark of the Moon sees the Autobots racing against the Decepticons to capture the power of a Cybertronian spacecraft crash-landed on the moon, in order to win the battle of the Transformers and save the world.
Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson reprise their roles as US soldiers in the film, while the cast also includes Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich and Frances McDormand.
