And Ruby Rose has evolved into a real-life action film star, with xXx: Return Of Xander Cage in cinemas now and John Wick and Resident Evil sequels in the works.

'I'm not particularly tough, I'm quite a sensitive soul,' the former TV presenter told The Sydney Morning Herald.
In xXx: Return Of Xander Cage she plays elite sniper Adele Wolff, the right-hand woman to Vin Diesel's lead character.
Her training for the intense role included taking her already intense workout schedule to new levels and shooting practice at a gun range in Los Angeles.

During the interview, she also said she has become 'best friends' with xXx leading man Vin Diesel, revealing they FaceTime each day to stay in touch.
'Competing with Vin Diesel to get bigger muscles is just like something as a kid I never would have anticipated,' she gushed.
Ruby will next star in the sixth and final installment in the Resident Evil film series, where her character Abigail will fight to save humanity alongside Milla Jovovich.
In the action thriller John Wick: Chapter 2, due for release next month, she will play an assassin.

The Melbourne-born stunner has been drawn to movies since her bit part as Hannah in the 2013 Australian drama film Around The Block, which starred Christina Ricci.
And while she's professed to being tender at heart, Ruby sees the possibility of being rejected when she auditions for big roles as part of the process.
'The rejection side of things can take its toll,' she explained.
But you have to know that you're not getting rejected. Somebody else just did an amazing job and they want to make the film the best they can,' she continued.
