You might not have heard of Antje Utgaard, but by all accounts the blonde beauty is about to hit the big time.

The curvaceous blonde does bare a striking resemblance to the Sports Illustrated model, and revealed that she was flattered by the comparison.

'I was once aspiring to be like Kate Upton, I love her and I’ve always been a fan of hers,' Ms Utgaard told the Adelaide Advertiser. 'She’s a blonde bombshell and curvaceous and everyone loves that.'
However the 22-year-old has said that although she enjoyed being compared to Upton, she has different career aspirations.
'I was extremely flattered when I got the title of being the "Next, Next Kate Upton", but I want more than that and to get in with the acting community because I really do enjoy it.'

In fact Ms Utgaard moved to Los Angelas from her home town in Wisconsin in order to pursue her dreams of making it in Hollywood.
She said that she hopes to become an actress and star in a comedy television show.
'I also want to become something more like Sophia Vergara — to be the hot, funny girl, or even like Cameron Diaz or someone with sex appeal,' she explained.
'Ideally I’d like to get into a comedy series. Something like Friends or How I Met Your Mother. That would be really cool.'

And one of the ways the blonde bombshell is raising her profile and hoping to get noticed for acting gigs is via social media.
Ms Utgaard has more than 830,000 followers on Instagram and will likely hit one million in the coming months.
She says that being on the platform has definitely boosted her career, and that if it wasn't for her followers growing she wouldn't have had the courage to quit university and move to LA.
