Kelly Brook has released some lovely images to commemorate the 13th anniversary of her legendary blockbuster Piranha 3D, admitting that Hollywood made her feel ‘beyond it’ at 30.
On Monday, the presenter, model, and actress came to Instagram to reveal a couple photos of herself in the film, in which she looks – quite well – stunning.
In one image, the celebrity is wearing a lovely red and white polka dot vintage swimming suit, which she accessorises with a nautical striped beach bag and large silver hoop earrings.
Kelly also posted an outstanding piece of poster art portraying an animated version of herself being attacked by piranhas (of course) while wearing that same bathing suit.
The artist also included a wonderful hint of blood gushing everywhere as the toothy fish tore through her torso. Lovely.
‘Happy 13th Birthday Piranha3D!! I got spotted in a Restaurant in Santa Monica and was asked by the Director to audition for this Movie!’ shared Kelly, 43, in the caption.

She then admitted how close it could have come to not happening, explaining: ‘I was 30 Years old and felt in Hollywood Terms past it! I was actually shipping all my belongings back to the UK.’
However, the Heart Drive host, who married longtime lover Jeremy Parisi last July, is overjoyed.
‘Looking back now I’m so happy I landed the part and agreed to be involved! One of the Best on Set experiences I’ve ever had and led to many more Hollywood Adventures!’
‘You never know what’s around the corner 🎈,’ she added.
In the film, Kelly starred alongside the likes of Ving Rhames, Gossip Girl actress Jessica Szohr, Adam Scott, Elizabeth Shue and film legends Christopher Lloyd from Back to the Future and Jaws’ Richard Dreyfuss.
She played porn actress Danni, shooting a film on Lake Victoria in Arizona, where the lake floor is split by an earthquake and a school of prehistoric – and especially deadly – piranhas emerge from the chasm.
Let’s just say, as the artwork Kelly uploaded shows, her character doesn’t do well.
Within a year of its debut, the picture made over $83 million worldwide, spawning the sequel Piranha 3DD, for which both Rhames and Lloyd returned.
Kelly has since appeared in Keith Lemon: The Film, One Big Happy, and Celebrity Juice, as well as UK productions such as The Masked Dancer.
