SHE’S graced the catwalks for Marc Jacobs and Chanel. Now it looks as if Kendall Jenner has a caught the eye of British director Sam Taylor-Wood.

According to Grazia magazine, Jenner is in talks to star in the second cinematic instalment of the Fifty Shades Of Grey series.

Sources told the magazine that Taylor-Wood is a huge fan of the 18-year-old model.

“She’s fascinated by her and expressed interest in her appearing in the first film but it didn’t happen,” an insider said.

“Universal is also keen for Kendall to be involved in the sequel. They put in a call to her people and arranged a meeting last month, which went really well.

“It wouldn’t be a major role but would certainly be a foot in the door of Hollywood. Apparently, she’ll only sign on once Sam Taylor-Wood is confirmed as the director.”

The first film, which is based on the series by E.L. James, stars Jamie Dornan as leading man Christian Grey, while Dakota Johnson takes on the role of Anastasia Steele.
