She didn’t get to win the national
crown, but she’s landed one of the coolest gigs in show business.
Channing Pierce competed last June at the Miss USA pageant as Miss
Michigan USA, and despite her perfect looks and the fact that she was
one of the favorites, surprisingly she didn’t make the first cut. But
even though she was ignored by Donald Trump’s beauty pageant, for the
producers of the movie Real Steel she was THE
one for the role. She has a cameo as the ring girl during the main fight
in the film starring Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly and Dakota Goyo.
The gorgeous (and my Miss USA) Channing
has been modeling for years, and it was her modeling agent who suggested
she compete at Miss Michigan USA, where she won on the first try. You
can see Pierce in at least 2 of the trailers.
Real Steel is directed by Shawn Levy and opens on October 7 in the US.
