Leelee Sobieski -- Models Are Brain Dead!

Leelee Sobieski isn't afraid of Cindy Crawford's wrath -- because when we asked why she became an actress instead of a model, she flat out replied "I like to use my brain."

Wonder how much brain power it took to accept roles in "The Wicker Man" and "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale."

2. Hey, it's her opinion and she's entitled to it. Good for her, she's not a mindless lemming trying to say the "right" thing because of public opinion.

6. Funny that they used Cindy Crawford as a point of reference. Especially since she was her high school's valedictorian and received a scholarship to Northwestern to study chemical engineering.

9. I like her and shes sooo pretty. Its just her opinion and who cares she didnt say models were brain dead she just says she likes to use her brain maybe that means she likes to challenge herself. And anyone that wants to right negative stuff and judge her has absolutely no life. This world we live in today theirs a lot of judgemental fools out there and its sad.

12. Maybe she didn't become a model because she looks like a beast? That's the most obvious reason.

13. "I like to use my brain" by being an actress. I don't get it. Heck.....a trained parakeet can repeat words and lines. She really have to give me something else to hang my hat on.

14. wow #10 you got anything better to do? Seriously I will not ever understand why people take time out of their day to post such stupid things, if you dont like the person go about your business and dont stop to post. Who knows why people have to always be sooo negative, what does it do being so negative do you win a prize or something? seriously how dumb and she didnt even mention Cindy thats just a stupid reference that TMZ used your a fool. your just jealous and have no life how sad.

15. She did not say models were brain dead, she said, she did not want to model because she wanted to use her brain.
By the way, a lot of models say this same very thing all the time, especially near the end of their careers. Many often want to do something more mentally challenging.

Her comment was light hearted about her not having a desire to model, not the people who do model.
Some models are very intelligent, some are not at all but most are normal people.

She seems like a nice and talented lady and models are used to hearing that from, that’s right, other models.
That's a fact Jack.
