Only days after handing over her title of Miss Universe, the Australian beauty has received her first film offer - from Hollywood heavyweight Adam Sandler to join a stellar cast in his movie Click. Hawkins has no previous acting experience but her first co-stars would include acclaimed actor Christopher Walken and star of The Aviator, Kate Beckinsale.
After watching Hawkins during last week's Miss Universe pageant, Sandler - who stars in The Longest Yard - rang Hawkins' Sydney manager with the offer at 6am on Friday. The news has stunned Hawkins, 21, who is on holidays with friends in Bali.
"I love Adam Sandler, I think he's hilarious," Hawkins told The Sunday Telegraph yesterday.
"The fact that he wants me in his new movie is totally unbelievable. I don't know whether I'm able to free up July and August to shoot it, but if it works out then it would be fantastic."
Hawkins recently signed with Channel Seven to become a regular presenter on its travel show, The Great Outdoors.
If the network agrees to reschedule her commitments to the show, Hawkins will relocate to Los Angeles in July for two months.
Hawkins' manager Sean Anderson said he initially thought the call from funnyman Sandler was a prank.
"He said he'd watched her on TV during the pageant and thought she looked awesome and loved the way she communicated," Anderson said.
"He then went on to say he would love to have her in his next film."
Sandler's cult following could pay huge dividends for the girl Donald Trump once referred to as "the most beautiful Miss Universe ever".
