Victoria Silvstedt

Victoria Silvstedt is on a roll. With her bedroom eyes, long legs, and pouty lips, the former Playboy playmate is front and centerfold all over again.

This month, the multi-talented Swedish siren nabbed the cover of Gear Magazine and this fall she co-stars in Ben Stiller's film "Zoolander." Not bad for a former ski champ who turns many heads during an afternoon rollerblading session in Southern California's Venice Beach.
After her layout in Playboy, Victoria covered up a bit more for Guess Jeans and followed the path of look-a-like and fellow playmate of the year Anna Nicole Smith.

Silvstedt explains, “If I had to give my business card it would be model, actress/singer.
I had an album put out in Sweden last year and I have a contract with EMI records. My first two singles went gold."

This “golden girl” isn't afraid to say that talent a side it was revealing some skin that launched her career. Silvstedt states, "That’s what made me a celebrity, before I was just a model."

Victoria tells “Extra” she hopes to do more serious acting in the future. But this Nordic goddess is keeping her feet firmly on the ground.

Silvstedt says, “I don’t want things to go boom right away. I'm trying to work my way up. I’m taking my time.”

And “Extra” will be waiting!
