About Michelle Monaghan

Plenty of models try their hand at acting, but few have had Michelle’s extraordinary success. In addition to starring in Mission: Impossible III, the Iowa native has also appeared in blockbusters like Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Supremacy and North Country.


Michelle Monaghan Quote

" You don't grow up in a town of 700 thinking you're going to be an actress. I loved doing [school] plays, but it was just something to keep me busy."

A former fashion model, the usually subdued Michelle knows how to crank up the sexiness when the situation calls for it. For starters, this sensuous Iowa native lowers her eyes, exposes a little cleavage and shows off her fabulously long colt-like legs. "I modeled for years, so I'm not really freaked out about showing my body," she admits.

And it’s a good thing too, because her nude scene in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) kept us fixated on the screen. Of course Michelle takes it all with a grain of salt. "Somebody told me I'll be on the Celebrity Skin website, and I was like ‘Oh! That's great!’” she says. “I love the internet. Now I can look at my t*ts every day online."
