ANOUK SAMUEL

I was born in Miami and moved to LA when I was 7. I’m a full-time actress and model, based in Los Angeles currently. I’ve been modeling since I was a baby, I even have a baby com-card, and started acting at 12 years old. My main focus at the moment is acting in TV/Film and have booked 3 feature films this year so far!

Describe yourself in 3 words.

I would say passionate, multi-talented, and extremely smart even though my artist mind is a MESS most of the time. Imagine a script with a ton of notes, that’s how my brain works.

Were you excited to shoot for Playboy?

Yes!! It’s been a life-long career goal. My sister-in-law was actually a Playmate when Hugh Hefner was still around. I went to one of their Easter events at the Mansion at the age of 10. It was pretty damn cool. This is one thing I can officially check off of my bucket list. I hope to continue shooting for Playboy.

What was it like starting out as a model?

I’ve been modeling since I was 1 years old, my Dad’s a photographer and my Mom worked freelance with Bruce Weber on all of the Abercrombie campaigns (when Abercrombie was still a thing). I basically grew up on sets. I did the cover of Vogue Bambini at 6 years old. I decided to seriously focus on my modeling career again in 2016 and it’s taken off ever since.

What would you consider to be your biggest challenge as a model so far?
