Jolie to become face of St John
16/09/2005 - 12:43:19Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie is set to become the highest paid actress-turned-model when she named the new face of Californian fashion label St John.
The Girl, Interrupted beauty has reportedly been offered a $12m (€9.8m) contract which will also see her take on a stake in the fashion house and become a director.
The 30-year-old will replace Leonardo DiCaprio's on-off lover Gisell Bundchen as the face of St John who appears photographed by celebrity snapper Mario Testino in the label's autumn/winter collection.
Jolie's anticipated deal could have a huge impact on future advertisement deals struck by actresses - Gwyneth Paltrow and Elizabeth Hurley were paid $5.4m (€4.4m) to represent Estee Lauder, while Nicole Kidman received $5m (€4m) to be the face of Chanel.
