British model Kelly Brook will receive a whopping USD 500,000 for stripping on the cover of the men's magazine Playboy.
The actress and glamour model has signed a half-a-million dollar deal to pose naked for the publication later this year, reported Daily Mail online. The 30-year-old, will pose for 'arty and tasteful' nude pictures on a shoot in the Mediterranean later this month.
"She's absolutely thrilled. It's such a great honour for her, especially when you think about the icons that have graced the cover of the magazine over the years," said her agent Jonathan Shalit.
The famous names who have dropped their clothes for the magazine include Marilyn Monroe, who appeared on the very first cover in 1953.
Brook, the ex-fiance of Titanic star Billy Zane is a front page favourite of other men's magazines including Loaded, GQ and FHM on which she features on the cover of next month's issue, posing in a revealing swimsuit and heels next to a lion.
