British actress Carey Mulligan graces us with all her class in a Chanel on the cover of the upcoming October 2010 issue of Vogue Magazine (more pictures below). Carey, who is currently dating actor Shia LaBeouf, refuses to become scary skinny in order to land lead roles in Hollywood movies.

“The thinnest I’ve ever been was after I had my appendix out, during the London run of The Seagull. I went down to 112 pounds and realized my brain doesn’t work when I’m that thin, so I can’t do my job,” Carey explained.

“That’s why, when I came out here, I never had that whole Hollywood pressure thing. I never said I wanted to be a lead actress; I never said I wanted to be a film actress,” Carey continued. “This need to trump everyone bewilders me. I’m only 25. I’m not better than anyone. I just want to watch other people and learn to be good.”

Carey is not scary skinny, but she is pretty skinny. So her weight shouldn’t be a deciding factor, which means she can beat Keira Knightley pretty easily for any role she ever wants. However, there is one role Carey wants and can’t get because she is not famous enough.

“I want to be in ‘Glee’, but I’m told I’m not famous enough to be a cameo yet,” so she said. Carey is a 25 year-old Oscar-nominated actress and she can’t be on GLEE. Wow. Anyway, GLEE is not exactly famous for incredible acting performances.
