Ivana Milicevic

“ Sometimes men like to look at boobs. ”

PLAYBOY.COM: What's the funniest story you have from your modeling days?

IVANA MILICEVIC: Whenever you're out somewhere with a table full of models, if a camera comes out and the girls aren't ready, they're like, "Oh my God, what? I don't see the camera." And with the snap of a finger everybody puts on a model face. We call it "throwing it" for pictures.

PLAYBOY.COM: Like Zoolander with his look, Blue Steel.

MILICEVIC: Exactly. I was told another story by another model doing some nudes. The hairdresser came in to "fix her hair" and what really happens is she styles your pubes.

PLAYBOY.COM: Because of your exotic name and looks, have you been typecast as the hot babe?

MILICEVIC: I do get typecast, but I think everybody gets typecast. I look more like a spy, I suppose, than your girl next door. But I think as I get older and mature as a person and as an actor, I will get more shots because I do have a comedy background and a love for it. People always say they want attractive girls doing comedy, but there doesn't seem to be that much out there where they're not being the straight guy. That's why I got lucky [with Witless].

PLAYBOY.COM: How does Witless Protection showcase a different side of your acting?

MILICEVIC: I don't get a chance to be funny as much as I want to. For the first half, I'm more of a straight guy for Larry, and in the second half it becomes more of a buddy picture. There's a part where we can't stand each other -- he thinks I'm too hoity-toity, and I think he's just disgusting -- but when we start to soften up toward each other, it becomes kind of sweet and beautiful. That's what I hope people get out of it. A girl and a guy -- especially a guy that looks like Larry and a girl that looks like me -- don't often get to do a buddy picture.

PLAYBOY.COM: Did you have fun making Casino Royale?

MILICEVIC: I did and I didn't. It took me six months just to complete that movie, and you can see how much I ended up in it. I'll be honest, it's not like I dreamed about being a Bond girl, but this movie shot in Prague, the Bahamas, London and a little bit in Italy. There was no way I was not going to do it.
