Gone Girl Movie Casts Blurred Lines' Emily Ratajkowski

She's the hot British-born model who cosied up to Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke in Blurred Lines – but who has Emily been cast as in Gone Girl?

Emily Ratajkowski has been the subject of many headlines in recent weeks, but the latest is sure to shock – and excite many of her fans. The British-born model has been cast in the upcoming Gone Girl movie, she confirmed on Instagram yesterday.

The star shared a link to a news story on her Instagram feed with the caption: 'So happy to announce my casting in David Fincher's Gone Girl opposite Ben Affleck.'

The role is set to be very different from Emily's in Blurred Lines, which saw her rise to fame as she danced naked alongside Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and T.I to the controversial hit single. The video has now racked up 174 million views on YouTube since its debut in March, which casting directors are no doubt hoping will translate into box office sales when the movie hits cinemas in 2015.

Gone Girl will be Emily Ratajkowski's acting debut, and will see her star alongside Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, who'll play husband and wife Amy and Nick Dunne. Emily will play Andie, a college student who has an affair with Nick. Reese Witherspoon is producing the movie alongside Bruna Papandrea and Leslie Dixon.
