Playboy girl Kelly Brook has expressed her desire - with more than a hint of sarcasm - to win an Oscar for her performance in fish-meets-glamour-model acquatic thriller Piranha 3D, reports the London tabloid Metro.
In an amusing video posted on website Funny or Die, Brook and her co-stars make a case for Piranha 3D's Oscar hopes.
Brook says: 'You gave Denzel Washington his Malcolm X Oscar for Training Day. Now's your opportunity to give Elisabeth Shue her Leaving Las Vegas Oscar in addition to her Piranha Oscar...and mine.
'I'm on the cover of Playboy. Do you know who posed for Playboy? Kim Basinger, Oscar winner. Charlize Theron, Oscar winner. Kelly Brook...?'
The 30-year-old former Big Breakfast presenter was often criticised for her presenting skills - or distinct lack of them, rather, struggling with reading the autocue and pronouncing longer words - so is unlikely to impress Academy Award judges.
Brook, from Rochester, Kent, has had a busy month promoting the horror flick and was pictured in Paris last night wearing a low-cut little black dress, perhaps signalling a final hoorah to her ‘naked month'..
Heavy publicity for the film has been adjoined by criticism from reviewers and Hollywood directors such as Avatar artiste James Cameron.
