British Playboy Model, Kerri Parker, had a brain surgery following that she became an introvert. In February this year, she had to undergo a surgery due to removing of the brain tumour that she believes has transformed her to become a different person.

According to The Mirror, she used to love being the center of attention when she posed for Playboy magazine and she even acted as a body double for actress Megan Fox. She loved hanging out at her boss Hugh Hefner's mansion as well. But post-surgery, Kerri, loves staying at home and hates night life.

She said that she felt like she had a personality transplant and that she was a completely different person. She added that her food tastes had changed and she would prefer spending her weekend relaxing on a boat rather than go out drinking.

She feels she hates being the center of attraction and would rather just snuggle on the sofa with tea. She is enjoying her current life that is a world away from the life she used to live.

She recalled that she had started modelling in the year 2003 after she had seen an advertisement for a competition in a magazine before, in which she was a lab technician at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. She knew she wanted to be a model and gave it a go.

Because she loved modelling and she had become a finalist in the competition, she decided to quit her job and entered national beauty pageants that she would always end up winning. She became a professional model.

She then went on to do acting as it was her another dream. Her agent managed to get her small roles in The Bourne Ultimatum, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises and Lesbian Vampire Killers. She feels that the highlight of her career was when she was asked to be a stand in for Megan Fox during the filming of How To Lose Friends And Alienate People as Megan was her idol.

In March 2012, she applied to be a Playmate in the Playboy organisation for which she got accepted and became an official bunny. She felt that she was the luckiest girl in the world as she attended red carpet events.

At the age of 29, in Oct. 2013, she was diagnosed with brain cancer through an MRI that showed she had a 4 centimetre tumour on her frontal lobe. She had been feeling unwell for a year, but she had a bad headache in October and was rushed to the emergency where the doctors thought she had meningitis because she could not look at bright lights.

The MRI and CT scans showed that she had a tumour that was cancerous in nature and it completely shocked her. Despite the diagnosis, she carried on working as a model, but in February this year, she went in for a surgery to remove the growth that completely changed her.
