Biography |
Keeley Rebecca Hazell was born on September 18, 1986, in
Lewisham, a suburb southeast of London, England. Raised in
another nearby London suburb, Bromley, Keeley attended
Bromley’s Ravensbourne School. When Keeley was 16, she left
school to become an apprentice hairdresser, but she was
already looking beyond beauty parlors and nursing ambitions
to become a model.
Keeley wanted to be a Page 3 girl and pose topless on the
inside pages of British tabloids like The Daily Star and The
Sun. Keeley’s former art teacher tried to discourage her,
saying that her breasts were too small; in any event, Page 3
girls had to be at least 18. But Keeley was anything but
discouraged -- her bust, as time would soon tell, was
definitely growing. With the support of her hairdressing
colleagues, she had some pictures taken of herself and
entered The Daily Star’s “Search for a Beach Babe” contest,
which she won.
Keeley, who was anxious to quit hairdressing, wasn’t yet
able to work as a full-time model, in spite of this early
success. Too young for glamour modeling and too short for
fashion modeling, Keeley enrolled in a fashion course at
Lewisham College in early 2004. After six months, Keeley
turned 18 and had her boyfriend take some pictures of her to
submit to The Sun’s Page 3 Idol contest. A reader favorite,
Keeley ended up winning in December 2004. Her prize included
£10,000 worth of clothes and an exclusive one-year modeling
contract with The Sun.
Keeley quickly became one of The Sun’s most popular Page 3
girls. Sculptor Leigh Heppell even made three bronze
sculptures of Keeley’s breasts, two of which can be found in
The Sun’s office (Keeley herself has the third in her
house). While posing for The Sun, Keeley was represented by
Girl Management, and then briefly by the Frank White Agency;
she finally settled on agent Jon Fowler, who also represents
George Michael and Kelly Brook. Once Keeley’s contract with
The Sun expired, she began to get broader exposure.
Keeley appeared on the cover of the June 2005 issue of
Maxim, and in September, she did the same for FHM. In quick
succession, Keeley graced the covers of many other British
men’s magazines, including Loaded, Nuts and Zoo; she turned
down an offer to pose for Playboy, though, stating that it
wasn’t something she felt comfortable doing. Meanwhile,
Keeley continued to pose for The Sun, as well as for its
2006 Page 3 wall calendar.
In early 2006, Keeley made headlines after English soccer
star Joe Cole was beaten up at a party at her house. Despite
rumors that the already engaged Cole had been hitting on
Keeley, the altercation had nothing to do with her. She also
had two publicized car crashes -- one in 2005 and one in
2006.
Keeley remains in high demand. She’s put out her own 2006
calendar and is now posing exclusively for Zoo and FHM.
Keeley -- who has been taking drama and social psychology
classes -- had a minor role in the British movie Cashback
(2006), a full-length version of a short film of the same
name that was nominated for a 2004 Oscar. |
