Charlotte McKinney Hates Being Compared To Kate Upton
Charlotte McKinney really, really, really doesn’t want to be compared to Kate Upton, even though the buxom blonde model is regularly touted as the next Upton.
McKinney made the admission during a Twitter chat that she conducted with Page Six. McKinney was asked how she felt about the constant comparisons that she gets to Kate Upton, and she admitted that she is completely over it.
.@mikeblaustein I’m over it. I believe we’re two totally different people and we have different career paths. #AskCharlotte

McKinney, 21, who was born in Orlando, Florida, has previously appeared in the likes of Esquire, and in ad campaigns for Guess.
Meanwhile, her profile raised exponentially after she appeared in Carl’s Jr’s All Natural Burger commercial, which aired in the middle of Super Bowl XLIX earlier this year.
Because of her buxom look and blonde hair, McKinney was instantly compared to Kate Upton, who has appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2012 and 2013.
And these comparisons were exacerbated because Kate Upton had previously appeared in an Carl’s Jr. commercial too, back in 2012.
Throughout the discussion, McKinney made several revelations about her career, admitting that when she was young she didn’t really have a specific goal for her future self, she just wanted to be famous, before adding, “I’m looking for longevity in my career and being happy while doing it.”
Meanwhile, McKinney also insisted that even though she’s seen as a “ditzy model,” she is adamant that she’s really intelligent.
.@BradleyWerner They assume I’m a ditzy model, but I’m really smart once you get to know me. #AskCharlotte — Page Six (@PageSix) May 6, 2015
There is also one certain question that McKinney is completely tired of hearing:
.@GabbyStranieri “Are your boobs real?” #AskCharlotte
