New Transformers Star Calls Director Michael Bay 'A Laugh'

The new star of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, has described director Michael Bay as a "laugh."

The model takes her first steps in the acting world in the third installment of the Transformers franchise, stepping in for Megan Fox.

She told MTV News: "I met Michael Bay back in 2009 on a Victoria's Secret commercial, and we've always gotten along. The guy has a great sense of humor, he has a really tough work ethic, which I do. He works really hard, and he expects his team and his cast to be professional and work hard. That's been my work ethic all along, so we get along fine.

"He's a laugh. And I love doing the stunts. I think he really respected a girl who can get her hands dirty! We had a lot of fun filming."

Actor Josh Duhamel, who plays special operative Lennox in all three films, has been supportive of his co-star's acting debut, saying: "They got along great. Rosie has a great attitude. She's a very bright girl. And she's surprisingly good in this film. Who knew? Talk about pressure, your first job, to come on to such a large movie. The pressure was tremendous and she did a great job. She's funny in it. The connection between her and Shia feels very real. I was really proud of her."

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is released on June 29.
