Model Bar Refaeli’s life have many commun points with fellow mannequin Gisele Bündchen (the two have both dated actor Leonardo DiCaprio, modelled for Victoria’s Secret and launched lingerie lines) now as per Gisele, the Israeli blonde is turning to the movie world.

But rather than playing a staffer at Vogue (as Bündchen did in The Devil Wears Prada circa 2006), Refaeli is going back to her native country to play Einav Schwartz, a sly seductress.

The French-Israeli film, Kidon , tells the story of the real-life 2010 assassination of Hamas operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai. The country’s police accused the Mossad – Israel’s spy agency – of carrying out the hit in a five-star hotel, and released surveillance camera footage of the assassination team tracking al-Mabhouh.

Pictures show Refaeli’s character – sporting generous lashings of eyeshadow in a cleavage-enhancing gown – luring al-Mabhouh into his assassins’ trap.

I traveled to Dubai just after the assassination took place and indeed there was a lot of security everywhere (and undercover agents I was told).

Cannot wait to see the movie!
