Adriana Lima to Sizzle on Ugly Betty

September 5, 2008

Brazilian super model Adriana Lima will break into the fashionable world of Mode magazine when she makes her acting debut on an upcoming episode of Ugly Betty.

“Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance,” says Lima’s rep Liza Anderson.

On a future Betty (returning to ABC Sept. 25, 8 p.m. ET), Lima will be hired to pose on the pages of Mode’s “sizzling hot issue” and will work with Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) on a cover story about the virtues of exotic fruit, including the fictional “tico berry,” which the Vicoria’s Secret model — playing herself — will credit as a booster to her sexy appearance.

But in a twist right out of Betty’s madcap world, Lima, 27, will sport a broken finger from a real-life fall she suffered while on vacation in Croatia.

Lima starts filming next week. – Bryan Alexander

Girl sounds like a dude when she speaks. Her acting was horrible when she was on How I Met Your Mother, but I don’t watch Ugly B, so nevermind.

Adriana is my favorite “Angel”. LOVE her! I am sure she will do great! Congrats on your new adventure Adriana!

Maybe if Adriana became “more accustomed” with the english language we could actually understand her when she speaks…..
