But Megan Fox has gone the other way, forging a new career as a model after success in Hollywood.
Making the most of her reputation as one of Hollywood's most lusted after stars, she strips off for Emporio Armarni's 2011 Underwear and Jeans campaign.
The 24-year-old appears in a preview clip for the soon-to-be-released advert wearing next to nothing and showing off the body that landed her on Maxim's hot 100 list four years in a row.
In the clip, Megan is seen wearing risqué black lace lingerie and wrapped in a sheer black veil that blows around her body.
She then writhes around on a leather couch showing off her toned and slender physique, along with her infamous tattoos.
Megan has several pieces of body artwork including a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her inner forearm and a self written poem on her ribs which reads: 'There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART.'
She also has a quotation on her shoulder blade and her husband's name written on her lower stomach.
The full version of the sexy TV advert is due to air in the next few weeks and advertises both the underwear and jeans spring 2011 collections.
The actress filmed scenes alongside her co-star Jon Hamm in the Bronx area of the city before spending a day on the ski slopes of Mount Peter in Warwick where they shot some fun in the snow.
