Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: I'm With Jason Statham for Stability

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocks a platinum blonde bob on the cover of Elle UK‘s October 2013 issue, on newsstands September 4.

Here is what the 26-year-old model and actress had to share with the mag:

On her relationship with longtime boyfriend Jason Statham: “Many models are in long-term relationships for stability. Admittedly, not always with great men, but it gives them something to come home to, something grounding. That¹s how I see my relationship. Well, I see it in many ways but one of the most beautiful things is that I feel at home whenever I am in the world because of him.”

On the perception of models: “I can see why people think models come across as a little cold. When you start out you¹re so young you don¹t have a voice. Every just tells you what to do and you can end up abroad in the middle of nowhere, with no one speaking English. It is very lonely. ….You develop a thick skin to protect yourself. Now I am 26, when I come on a set, I can say what I think and my opinions are noted. I¹ve grafted hard to be here.”
