Ashley Diana Morris (born December 7, 1988 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian model and actress. In 2013, she became the newest Guess model after an accidental discovery in Vancouver. Morris was attending a concert by country music artist Dierks Bentley when she was spotted by fashion photographer Odette Sugerman (Guess, Vogue), who happened to be sitting a few rows away. Sugerman arranged for Morris, who had never modeled before, to fly to Los Angeles to meet Guess designer and co-founder Paul Marciano and to test for the clothing brand. Soon after, Morris signed with Guess. Her initial work with Guess will be for the company’s lingerie and bikini campaigns.[1][2]
Morris was also chosen by Hello! Magazine to represent one of the 50 Most Beautiful Stars in 2013.[3]
Morris in 2015 was picked to play the role of Rebecca Romijn in the movie The Unauthorized Full House Story which aired on August 22 on the Lifetime Network.[4]
Personal life
Morris broke her nose when she was younger and had surgery done on it when she was a teenager.[5] She told RAW Beauty Talks she chose to do the surgery because it was something that really bothered her and that she is still very happy about making that choice.[5]
Morris, who has a degree in theatre and English literature from the University of Toronto and a diploma in sports journalism from Centennial College, had a role on Global TV’s short-lived Canadian teen drama series The Best Years.[6]
Morris met Vancouver cosmetic dentist Geoffrey Gillespie through the dentist's friend, who first encountered Morris while she was working as a bartender at Toronto steakhouse in 2010.[7][8] On November 9, 2013, Morris and Gillespie wed in the Bahamas.[7][8]
