Bella Hadid makes her acting debut in 'The Beauty', a new body horror thriller on Disney+ that blends sex, gore, and high-concept horror. The series, created by Ryan Murphy, follows a mysterious STD that makes its victims attractive but prone to exploding violently.
Hadid plays Ruby, a supermodel who collapses during a Paris Fashion Week show, attacks the crowd, and eventually explodes into a bloody mist. The incident draws the attention of FBI agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall), who investigate a series of similar explosions across Europe.
The show features a star-studded cast including Anthony Ramos as a stylish assassin and Ashton Kutcher as a billionaire villain. Guest star Isabella Rossellini also appears as Kutcher's wife. The series explores themes of beauty, pharmaceutical greed, and societal anxieties, drawing comparisons to the AIDS crisis.
'The Beauty' is now streaming on Disney+.
