Prepare yourself for Marisa Miller’s spectacular acting debut!
The stunning Victoria’s Secret angel is shifting her skills from the runway to the silver screen in the upcoming film R.I.P.D., featuring co-stars Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, which is set to premiere in theaters this Friday.
“It’s incredibly exciting, and being part of such an amazing cast for my first film is truly an honor,” she expressed.
So what character does Miller portray in this comedic crime movie?
“R.I.P.D stands for the Rest in Peace Department, where Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds portray underworld cops who come to earth to battle these villains while being dead. People on the street will see me as Jeff Bridges’ disguise, while Ryan Reynolds is disguised as Grandpa Chen [James Hong]. The visual of both of us together… a lot of the humor derives from that,” she detailed.
The blonde bombshell even performed her own stunts!
“Initially, the stunt where I get hit by the bus was considered quite dangerous, and they planned to have a stuntwoman perform it. However, since the shot was really tight, they asked me to step in,” Miller recounted.
“I’m quite athletic, so I was genuinely thrilled that they invited me to do it; it became one of my best memories from the shoot. It was intense and challenging, but also really hilarious.”
This response is certainly more positive than Reynolds’ near-vomiting episodes during his stunts.
On that note, Marisa revealed how Reynolds’ charming demeanor while filming significantly eased her nerves during what she expected to be a stressful experience.
“He’s naturally hilarious. Working on set with him was fantastic. I mean, collaborating for the first time with Kevin Bacon, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds—this crew is purely sensational, so I anticipated being incredibly nervous and intimidated. But having Ryan around to make me laugh was just wonderful.”
