Kate Upton In June’s ‘Vogue’ Issue Talks Acting, Lingerie Line, Body Image; Cat Daddy Dancer Says, “I Love My Body!”

Kate Upton, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model whose cat daddy dance for photographer Terry Richardson made her a viral sensation, appears on the cover of Vogue magazine's June issue.

Upton talked with Vogue about her much-admired curves in the magazine's accompanying interview, "I can't change my bra size. They're natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life."

"I love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great," the model continued.

Upton told the magazine that although she loves modeling, she wants to pursue acting and other avenues. Kate Upton has performed in The Three Stooges and Tower Heist so far, and will appear in the film The Other Woman alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, which will release in 2014.

She said to Vogue, "I never set out to be on the runway. I feel like I trust my career path. I would love to have my own lingerie line."

Upton's lingerie line would perhaps be aimed at competing with 'Victoria's Secret'; the popular underwear line threw shade at Kate Upton early in her career. The casting agent for Victoria's Secret's catwalk shows, Sophia Neophitou, told the New York Times, "[Upton's] like a page 3 girl. She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy."

But, that criticism hasn't stopped Upton. Explaining her ambitious goals, she said, "I'm American - more is more!"

The 20-year-old model is featured in Vogue's June issue, and the magazine calls her "the hottest supermodel on Earth."

Because Upton first shot to fame through social and viral media, she has a special attachment to Twitter and reaching out to her fans through the social network. She said, "I didn't buy the magazines that had models on the covers, because I didn't know them. So I think this kind of gives me, as a model, a personality that people can connect with."

The Vogue issue hits newsstands on May 21.
