It would be an actress' privilege to be an official "Bond girl" in a film. And with "Skyfall" ready for release, it's not unusual to find out models lining up, like Kate Upton, to stand side-by-side James Bond in a movie.

Curvy model Kate Upton said that she has what it takes to be the next "Bond girl." But although she has the face and the body to be Bond's next girl, she admits that she needs to brush up on her acting skills to be able to match this generations James Bond, Daniel Craig.

The "Sports Illustrated" model said that playing "Bond girl" in a movie is tempting. However, it takes more than good looks to be able to star in such an important movie like that of a Bond film.

"It's a very prestigious title, and it would be a very cool role," Upton said. Kate said that if she were given the chance to be signed as a "Bond girl", she would need some training.

"I would need to go through some intense training to learn all the Bond girl moves," she said on the New York Post while she attended the premier of "Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007."

Kate Upton was made famous in only a span of two years thanks to her bikini photoshoots. The 20-year-old model is rumored to be dating Detroit Tigers baseball player Justin Verlander. She also had minor roles in movies like "The Three Stooges" and "Tower Heist" with Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. And from being a bikini cover girl, Kate has made her leap to more high fashion publications.
