74 || MOST FITNESS || APRIL 2016MFM: You have done quite a few PETA ad campaigns-Were you nervous about the first nude one? What is the best response you received from the ads? JK: Yes, I have done five campaigns, and the newest one is out now which is pretty shocking and totally different than any of the other ads I have done with them. It%u2019s always a bit nerve-wracking at first to pose nud for any type of project because you have to make sure to cover the right areas, and you want to look your best without revealing too much. The best response I have received was that all of my ads really attract attention and are super popular. The most important aspect for me is to send a shocking message so that people listen and spread the awareness. If I can change one person%u2019s mind about animal cruelty, that%u2019s already a big accomplishment for me. That person will then spread it to another person, and that%u2019s how the message spreads.MFM: You have really devoted yourself to animal activismHow do you work to help in addition to working with PETA?JK: I have my own animal rescue www.angelsforanimalrescue.org where we have rescued not only dogs and cats but also snakes, pigs, and chickens. I also support The Humane Society, and on March 11th, they are honoring me and giving me an award for my work which is so humbling. I try any way I can to help animals by spreading awareness and being active because I believe in life you have to be a doer, not just a talker. We have many of those people, especially celebrities that just show up to an event, and they think that%u2019s all it is about. It%u2019s the hard, dirty work that counts the most that will make the change.MFM: Did you have pets growing up? JK: Yes, I always had dogs growing up, and I also had a hamster and a fish.MFM: Future projects/plans you are working on?JK: I have three movies coming out this year. One is coming out in March called %u201cYou Can%u2019t Have It,%u201d alongside the legendary Armand Assante and Ron Gronkowski. It%u2019s a lead role where I play an undercover CIA agent posing as a bartender. Another one probably coming out in the summer called %u201cAnother Day in Paradise%u201d which is still a working title. It%u2019s a supporting role, and I play a girl next door nurse at a family water park. The third one I haven%u2019t filmed yet which is called %u201cA Wind of Heaven%u201d where I play a supporting role as an animal activist against horse meat slaughter.Twitter and Instagram: @joannakrupaFacebook: Joanna Krupa
