She has topped Maxim and FHM’s world’s sexiest women polls and modelled for fashion’s biggest names.
Yet Rosie Huntington-Whiteley says she tries to ignore her status as a sex symbol and admits she definitely doesn’t feel like one.
‘It's a totally subjective opinion and not something I pay all that much attention to,' she told Vogue.co.uk. 'I certainly don't feel like one! I really don't take it too seriously to be honest, but I understand that it's part of my public image.'

Go to bed with Rosie: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley unveils her new sleepwear range with M&S
The 26-year-old, who was scouted by Profile Model Management when she was sixteen, said she loves her job but admitted it can be both exhausting and unsettling.
She does, however, believe that the greater the reward, the more sacrifices that have to be made.
The Devon-born supermodel, who will star alongside Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in 2014's Mad Max: Fury Road, shared her tips for success with the fashion bible.
‘Drive, balls, attitude, humour, manners, tact, wit, confidence, independence, fearlessness, opinions, and a great understanding of yourself. I have that found all of these things take time to acquire and much of it is a part of becoming a woman,' she said.
Rosie, who cites Princess Diana, Beyonce and Rihanna as women she admires, was speaking at the launch of her new sleepwear range for M&S.

After the stellar success of her lingerie range with Marks and Spencer, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has now branched out into nightwear.
The supermodel is hoping to help women get their beauty sleep in style with her luxurious new range of cashmere capes, silk dressing gowns and soft snoods.
Rosie was in store yesterday to unveil her new collection for Autograph.
She stayed loyal to the High Street mecca by donning a £299 fitted animal-print leather skirt from one of their ranges, which she teamed with a classic black top and sophisticated black court shoes.
The sleep range features a £149 pure cashmere jumper with detachable snood, as well as satin reverse pyjamas, which come with a more reasonable price-tag of £35.
In August, Rosie celebrated her one-year anniversary as a designer with the high-street store.
She celebrated by releasing her autumn 2013 collection of sophisticated and luxurious underwear pieces.
