Kate Bosworth (born January 2, 1983) is an American actress.

She’s 25!

After appearing in 1998′s The Horse Whisperer, Bosworth became well known with a leading role in 2002′s Blue Crush, and has since appeared in several notable films, including Superman Returns, where she played Lois Lane.

Bosworth was born Catherine Ann Bosworth in Los Angeles, California, the only child of Hal Bosworth, a former executive for Talbots, and Patricia (Potter), a homemaker. She was born with sectoral heterochromia, resulting in a hazel section at the bottom of her right blue eye, while the left is completely blue. After leaving San Francisco at the age of six, Bosworth’s family frequently moved around the country because of her father’s job, and she grew up mainly on the East Coast, spending the rest of her youth in Darien, Connecticut and Cohasset, Massachusetts.

While attending Cohasset High School (from which she graduated in 2001), Bosworth learned to speak Spanish and was a member of the National Honor Society; she also played varsity soccer and lacrosse. Bosworth has always been interested in a professional career as a competitive horse racer and, by the age of fourteen, she was a champion equestrian.

Bosworth’s first film role came after an open casting call in New York for the supporting part of Judith in the 1998 film, The Horse Whisperer. The film’s producers needed someone who was already an experienced horse rider, leading to Bosworth’s successful audition for the role.

Personal Life:

Bosworth previously dated actor Matt Czuchry, whom she met on the set of their short-lived television series, Young Americans. Their relationship lasted from 2000 to 2002. Then, in late 2002, she began dating actor Orlando Bloom. The two met outside a coffee shop and were introduced to each other by a friend, before meeting again at the premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Bosworth and Bloom separated in 2005 but shortly after resumed their relationship. On September 5, 2006, Entertainment Tonight reported that her on-again, off-again relationship with Bloom had ended after almost four years though it is unclear when the split took place. Bosworth has since been dating British model James Rousseau since September 2006.

Bosworth has two cats, Louise and Dusty, and a dog named Lila, whom she adopted while on a 2004 vacation in Morocco. She has noted that although equestrianism is her hobby, she has been unable to practice it, because of the potential risk of injury involved affecting her film career.
