Joanna Krupa The Polish born model and actress Joanna Krupa has appeared on the covers of the world’s leading men’s magazines. Her stunning looks and body earned her a position on Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 List, and she is currently capitalizing on the world’s poker obsession as a spokesperson for the online poker room Titan Poker. Joanna Krupa was born on April 23, 1981 in Warsaw, Poland. At the age of five, Krupa and her family moved to Chicago, Illinois, and it was in America that Krupa would eventually find success as a model and actress. She now lives in Los Angeles, California.
Throughout her modeling career, Joanna has earned the prestigious cover spot on many of the world’s leading magazines. Among her credits are appearances on the covers of FHM, Stuff, Maxim, and Inside Sport. Joanna also appeared on the cover of the iconic men’s magazine Playboy, founded by Hugh Hefner, in July of 2005. The publication touted her as the Sexiest Swimsuit Model in the World, providing a boost to Krupa’s career, and no doubt her ego. Other publications have recognized her sex appeal as well. She was the April model for Stuff magazine’s 2007 pin up calendar, appeared on Maxim’s Hot 100 List, and is featured in the Girls of Maxim Gallery. Joanna has also appeared in several films and television series. Her first was an un-credited role in Legally Blonde, starring Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, and Selma Blair, followed by a small role in the 2001 flick Planet of the Apes, directed by Tim Burton and starring Mark Wahlberg and Tim Roth. The Man Show, a chauvinistic comedy show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, featured Joanna as a “Juggy Dancer.” Dancing in skimpy clothing at the beginning of the show and before commercial breaks has reportedly been described by Krupa as fun, but also an admitted waste of time.
In recent years, Joanna has been gaining more acting credits, helping her to develop a reputation as a serious actress. She had a credited role in the 2006 film Ripple Effect, starring Forest Whitaker and Minnie Driver. Other roles of the year include an un-credited one in Scary Movie 4, the horror spoof featuring Carmen Electra, Leslie Nielsen, Molly Shannon, Shaquille O’Neal, and self-help guru Dr. Phil. She also had a significant role in The Dog Problem, and it looks like she will finally have a starring role in the upcoming horror flick Skinner Box. While not modeling or securing her next acting role, Krupa is an avid poker player. She is currently a spokesperson for Titan Poker, one of the many online poker rooms currently available to players worldwide. Whether Joanna has a man in her life at this time is not clear. She did date American actor Jensen Ackles, who appeared on series like Smallville and Dawson’s Creek, for some time. The pair has since split, but whether she has found a replacement for her former boyfriend isn’t clear. YUDDY |
