Describe yourself in 3 words?
Playful, relentless, adventurous
Who has made the biggest impact on your life so far, and why?
Can I say my dog? Haha. He’s really changed my life since I got him. I never thought being a dog parent would, but he has! But if we’re talking people, it’s definitely my two grandmothers. They were so wildly charming, funny and poised. They really shaped who I am as a person today.
How and when did you start into modeling?
I started when I was a baby with LA models and got into acting then, too. My neighbor was a famous photographer and a friend of the family, so he took my photos and my mom submitted them.
What is fun and rewarding about modeling? And what is not?
It’s fun to dress up and get styled. Getting the images are probably the most rewarding when it comes to modeling. The not so fun part is going on the go sees.
You have been in some of the top magazines in the world like Playboy, FHM and Maxim, that’s amazing! Please tell us about it.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun! Traveling for Maxim was probably the most fun because I always wanted to go to Bali.
Which magazine or project is still on your bucket list?
SI for sure and something really artistic. I’d like to shoot for a jean brand, too – like True Religion or Sevens.
What did you learn from your biggest failure?
To get back up and keep going. You can be upset, but then you have to be like “ok I’m going to be upset for this amount of time, then I’m going to get back up on the horse.”
The most important thing when you are shooting is?
Be prepared, well rested and on time.
What’s your advice for the young models and influencers?
Don’t take yourself too seriously and just have fun with it. Throwing spaghetti on the wall and seeing what sticks is ok! You have to play to see what works.
What actor/actress/model do you admire the most, and why?
So many! Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Jane Fonda, Jennifer Coolidge, Matthew McConaughey to name a few. I like how they set up their career and how transparent they are in the ebbs and flow of this business.
What mindsets helped making you so successful and popular?
I still have a long way to go, but I think it’s just about staying positive, having faith and knowing that everyday isn’t going to be a success and that’s okay.
When you started your Social Media accounts, did you expect such a success?
No, no at all. I was just doing it because I enjoyed taking photos and sharing.
As a popular model and influencer you are followed by so many people, including young girls. How do you feel about that pressure of doing always the right thing, and encourage people to follow their dreams?
I think its most important to stay true to yourself. You can’t compare yourself to anyone because you’re the only you there is!
I bet you get millions of it, but what are the best and worst Instagram DM pickup lines you received so far?
Well, the worst are definitely just flat out d**k picks. Please, please, no people! Also, it creeps me out when they act like they know me on a personal level. The best pick-up lines are the genuine ones or the really goofy ones, when they know they are goofy.
What would say are the greatest lessons you learned so far?
That nothing is going to happen overnight. You have to be persistent and consistent and you have to be doing more than you think you need to. But don’t ever forget to play and be a child and have fun!
Tell us about your film “KILL HER GOATS?”
I filmed it 7 years ago actually! Crazy! Its about this girl (Audra) played by me who gets this house gifted to her by her parents upon graduation and she invites her friends over for a slumber party when things get a little crazy, if you know what I mean. Goats are definitely involved.
How did you got involved in this project and who else is in the cast?
I auditioned for it and got the part! I actually auditioned for a different cast member originally but ended up as the lead. The other cast members are some fellow hotties I’m sure you have heard of: Dani Mathers, Ellie Gonsalves, Monica Sims and the one and only Kane Hodder.
Now tell us about acting and what kind of roles do you like or would like to play and why?
I love acting so much. It’s definitely what I’m most passionate about in my life and all the outlets it’s lead me to. I feel like acting requires a great depth of knowing oneself, and its a never ending exploration, which I love. As for roles, I would love to play the quirky woman that Heather Graham or Jennifer Coolidge often plays. I’d also love a juicy role, like Rosamund Pike in Gone Girl, Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Charlize Theron in Monster, and Mila Kunis in Luckiest Girl Alive.
Which fictional character would be the most exciting to meet in real life?
Probably Spiderman, so I can fly with him around town, or Batman because I just want to be held by him.
Can you name 3 actors/actresses you would love to work with?
Yes! A tough one to only name 3! Jennifer Coolidge, Riley Keough, Lady Gaga, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, and Brad Pitt of course.
Which project is still on your bucket list?
I need to finish my screenplay, get RealAF up and running, be a recurring on a TV show and book some movies!
What’s next for Arielle Raycene in 2023?
I have a bit in Pete Davidsons new TV show coming out. I shot a movie last year that might come out at the end of the year. I’m shooting a Christmas movie next month and hopefully will be on set a lot more! Writing, directing and acting is the hope!
Please describe a typical day for you. What is your daily routine like?
No day is alike. If an audition comes in, it takes priority. I would like to hit the gym, do my morning rituals and then get to work. Trying to move the needle a little bit every day is the goal.
If you are a book, what would be the title of the book and why?
More than just a brain. hehehe
Now talking about Instagram, can you share some tips for keeping your account interesting?
Just be yourself! Don’t overthink things too much. I know consistency is key but I try not to push myself too much if I’m not feeling like posting. Make sure your having fun with it or it will eat you up.
What is your own definition of happiness?
Waking up everyday and loving the people you are around and the work that you do. Being fulfilled and pushing yourself to new limits.
What is you favorite song to belt out in the car/for karaoke?
Flowers, Fly Me To The Moon, Stay, I Like Big Butts.
Name one your strengths?
Besides driving everyone wild with sarcasm? Perseverance – I’m not going down without a fight.
If you could meet someone living or dead, who would it be and why?
Princess Margaret. I became obsessed with the royal family during COVID.
Where do you see yourself and your career in 5 years from now?
My hope is to be running a company and to be a recurring on a tv show. I’m writing right now and would love to see that made.
Do you support any charity?
Building for the arts.
Idea of a perfect Sunday?
Being lazy and doing whatever it is that I want. Sleeping in, hanging out with my dog, going to dog parks or the farmers market. Watching movies and ordering in!
What do you think of Social Media?
I think it’s a great tool for connection. but sometimes I think we all take it too seriously.
