Czech model Eva Herzigova has been captured on the set of Italian film Cha Cha Cha in Rome, Italy, and looks like she has been getting on with the movie's director, Marco Risi, rather well, Telegraph reported.

While the 38 year-old's role in the film remains unknown, she has been captured arm in arm with Risi around the grounds of the Villa Borghese. Cutting a stylish figuire on set, she stars in the film with Italian heartthrob Luca Argentero.

Herzigova has half a dozen film appearances to her name, most recently playing herself in the 2006 film Twisted Tango.

While the trend for models turned actresses is not a new concept, the switch is very much in vogue. Top Russian model Natalia Vodianova has wrapped up filming for Belle du Seigneur with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, while Manchester-born model Agyness Deyn is currently appearing in The Leisure Society in London's West End.
