Actress Hyland the new face of OP
You might not be able to take the city girl out of Sarah Hyland, but the actress — and now swimsuit model — is happy to be parking herself at the beach.
Hyland, 22, of ABC’s Modern Family, lives in Los Angeles, blocks from the ocean, and stars in the new OP (Ocean Pacific) ad campaign.
The 22-year-old, who has done film, TV, theatre and commercial work since she was a toddler, moved to the West Coast when she was 18.
Before that, she recalls her idea of suntanning on hot summer days was a towel on the grass in Central Park in New York City, with an occasional trip to the beach at Coney Island.
Hyland shared some other beach-bound thoughts:
WHAT ’ S YOUR SWIMSUIT STYLE?
Hyland: I like fun things. I like the fruit prints OP has come out with. Something I like for my body type is a bikini with fringe. When you’re small-busted, it adds more to it. I like the illusion. I’ve always liked to cover up the top and show my legs more.
WHAT GOES IN YOUR BEACH BAG?
Hyland: Definitely a coverup, towel, sunblock and iPod, which is really my phone. It’s really minimal. I’m an overpacker for everything else, but the beach is truly a break for me.
SELF - TAN OR S UNTAN?
Hyland: I don’t really use self-tanners. I do lay out in my backyard to get my base tan.
WHAT ’ S YOU R DREAM BEACH TO VISIT?
Hyland: The beach vacation I’d like to take is Jamaica. I imagine it is the ultimate laid-back place.
