Jessica Dykstra (born May 30, 1988) is a model with Elite Model Management who recently joined Victoria's Secret's cast of Angels. Her measurements are 34-24-36, and she weighs 115 lbs.[1]
She made her big screen debut in 2013 with the movies Pain & Gain with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson[2] and Doctor Bello with Isaiah Washington. She also makes a cameo in Horrible Bosses 2. Coincidentally, Dykstra also appears in the 20/20 on ID documentary Revenge for Real: Miami Millionaire, the story of Marc Schiller's kidnapping, extortion and torture by the group of bodybuilder criminals from the Miami Sun Gym upon which the movie Pain & Gain is based. In it, she appears as Schiller's wife.
Dykstra was born in Miami, Florida to a Cuban mother and half Dutch, half English father.[3] Upon graduation from Cypress Lake High School in Fort Myers, Florida, Dykstra moved back to Miami and began attending casting calls.[4] She was soon discovered by Irene Marie Models, and did her first runway job for Venus Williams' EleVen clothing line. Other runway jobs, including MAC's spring 2010 makeup line, followed, as did a print ad campaign for True Religion eyewear with former Major League Baseball catcher Mike Piazza.
Jessica caused controversy with feminists in Italy when she appeared nude on the cover of the Italian edition of GQ Magazine with famed Italian chef Carlo Cracco (who is fully dressed, wearing a tuxedo).[5]
Most of Dykstra's work has appeared in European magazines, though she appears in the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and has also been Sports Illustrated's "Lovely Lady of the Day."[6] She has appeared in Women's Health magazine and other American publications.[7] She is currently based in Los Angeles, California, and has been working with Martin Kunert. She has also shot with famous photographers Omar Hogben of GQ for the V.A.U.L.T Store Opening In Miami,[8] and Russell James of Victoria's Secret. Her work includes Frederick's of Hollywood, bebe stores, Fila swimwear, Unisa shoes and The Crystals in the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Perhaps her most prominent work to date was when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a parody of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines music video. She also appeared later in the show when Thicke performed the song. She was in a Head & Shoulders commercial with Troy Polamalu, and appeared in an Axe commercial. She appeared in a Czechoslovakian commercial for Cider Podébradka and a Mexican commercial for T.T. Blues Jeans.
Jessica has also lent her name to several charities since embarking on her modelling career. She has teamed up with the Kansas City Chiefs' Shaun Smith’s 91 Ways Foundation, and was part of the 2011 NFL Draft Day Experience Live Watch Party on April 28, 2011. Two days later, she competed with the music team in Preserve Our Legacy's third annual celebrity charity basketball game which registers potential donors and raises money for minority patients in need of bone marrow transplants.
She was slated to represent the U.S.A. in the 2012 Miss World competition,[9] but scandalous pictures of Jessica sidetracked her appearance. The official explanation was that doctors discovered a hole in her heart.[10]
