Rosie Huntington-Whitely closer to beau thanks to Transformers

Rosie Huntington-Whitely insists her role in the new Transformers movie has helped bring her ever closer to boyfriend Jason Statham. The Brit model-turned-actress says starring in an action movie made her lovelife with Expendables star Statham stronger still.

“He’s extremely proud and he’s extremely excited to see the movie,” says Rosie. “I love his films and now I get to love doing action too. So that’s something that we definitely share in common now.”

Rosie recently revealed she cannot wait until she can settle down in a remote country cottage somewhere.

“I had a very sheltered and quiet childhood where I grew up,” she said.

“Looking back now I wish I had enjoyed it more because I was just dying to get out to the city — and now I am dying to get back to the country. The grass is always greener!”
