The 28-year-old model impressed movie mogul Harvey Weinstein with her performance in the film Pusher, due for release here next year.

Deyn will appear on stage in the British premiere of The Leisure Society, a dark comedy about a disastrous dinner party, alongside Ed Stoppard of Upstairs Downstairs fame. She said she realised acting was a passion while working on the film.

"When I did Pusher in the summer, it was like: this is what I'm supposed to be doing," she said.

"I just loved it so much and it excites me to be able to do it. I want to do it as much as possible -film, theatre, everything."

But she does not intend to give up modelling.

"They're both creative," she said. In the play, Deyn plays a promiscuous woman in a relationship apparently based purely on sex.

"She is really a free spirit who is just searching for herself," Deyn said.

Harry Burton, its director, said: "Everybody who knows about Pusher thinks Agyness is genuinely talented."

The Leisure Society, by Francois Archambault, previews from February 28 at the Trafalgar Studios.
