Geri Horner poses with her Gran Turismo co-star Orlando Bloom at photocall
Her first big screen appearance was in the critically acclaimed 1997 musical comedy Spice World: The Movie alongside her Spice Girls co-stars.
And despite the lukewarm response, Geri Horner, née Halliwell, got another chance to become a movie star with her performance in Gran Turismo.
The former pop star, 50, attended a photocall for the new film, which follows the true story of a young video game prodigy who became a real-life race car driver.
She was joined by her co-star Orlando Bloom, who looked hot in a white suit with green and blue spray marks down both sides with no top underneath.
Geri, who is married to Formula 1 boss Christian Horner, wore her trademark white attire, consisting of tight trousers and a sleeveless blouse.

Geri looked stunning in her white ensemble consisting of the tight jeans and blouse with a thin black ribbon at the neck.
Her appearance in the film – playing the lead character’s mother – is poignant thanks to her connection to motor racing, through her husband Christian, who is the team principal of the Red Bull Formula One team.
The film tells the true story of Jann Mardenborough, who became the third GT Academy winner in 2011 and the youngest ever winner at just 19 years old.
Despite never being in a real race car, he beat 90,000 entrants to win GT Academy, giving him the chance to compete in the Dubai 24 Hour race.
Archie Madekwe plays Jann Mardenborough, with Djimon Hounsou as his father, Geri, his mother, Orlando Bloom as Danny Moore, a character based on real life GT Academy founder Darren Cox and David Harbor as Jann’s trainer, Jack Salter.
