Kate Upton is hot. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and actress is probably the hottest model around today. Kate says she appreciates the curvy figure that led to her covering some of the world's biggest magazines.

In the interview for Upton's latest cover shoot, for Elle UK, Kate admits "I've been begging for this body my whole life."

To  those who have also been begging for that body, the 22-year-old supermodel reminds them "I'm not a toy, I'm a human, I'm not here to be used."

In the September 2014 Elle UK interview Upton says when she started her careers all she wanted was to "become a woman."

"When I first started modeling, I was a normal catalogue model," Upton told Elle UK, "then, I became a woman, and I was really excited ... Because I'm from Florida, it's all about being in bathing suits ... You are ugly if you don't have a curvy body. And I didn't have one, and then I got one, and thought, 'Yessss!'"

"After my first Sports Illustrated cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month," she told Elle.

Upton also spilled to Elle that "Every single guy I met was either married or about to be married, and I felt like I was their bachelor present or something. I'm not a toy, I'm a human, I'm not here to be used. I am a grown woman, and you need to figure your s--t out."

Supermodel Kate Upton has been called a "modern day Marilyn Monroe" going from Sports Illustrated covers to movies. Kate did a silver plated cameo in the film "Tower Heist" in 2011 and raised the temperatures of "The Three Stooges" in 2012. Upton's third film was "The Other Woman."

The cover shot was photographed by Matt Jones. This years Upton will model collections by Christopher Kane, Dior, Alaïa, Chloé and Burberry.
