Beau Garrett

by Amanda Friedman

AGE: 24

HOMETOWN: Topanga, Calif.

YOU’VE SEEN HER: As a new age-y vegan hottie on the first season of HBO’s Entourage and an American backpacker in Brazil who gruesomely becomes the victim of an organ-harvesting operation in last year’s fright flick Turistas. “The surgery scene was 12 hours of lying on a hospital bed. I peed in a bedpan. I had prosthetics on, so I had to eat there, piss there…everything.”

SEE HER NOW: As Frankie Raye in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, where she plays a human that collaborates with the superhero quartet—played by Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis—to save the world (and gets romanced by Evans’s hunky Johnny Storm along the way).

SUPER WOMAN: Although Frankie Raye isn’t blessed with superpowers in this film, she does eventually become a superhero in the comics. Could this be a possible storyline for a third Fantastic Four installment? “I would totally come on for it,” Garrett says.

MODEL BEHAVIOR: After being discovered in a shopping mall at age 13, the blond-haired, hazel-eyed beauty was hired by Elite Modeling Agency and served as a Guess model in the late ’90s. Although she’s lately been focusing on acting, Garrett hasn’t completely abandoned her roots—she’s just been tapped for a Revlon campaign alongside Halle Berry, Eva Mendes, Sheryl Crow and current costar Alba.

COUPLED UP: After living the single life for a while, Garrett has recently found romance with actor Kyle Howard (TBS’s My Boys). “He is in the business, which I try to avoid, but he’s very grounded. It’s new, but we’ve known each other a long time.”
