Charlotte Ann McKinney (born August 6, 1993) is an American model and actress who first gained attention as an Instagram personality, eventually achieving wider recognition for her appearance in a Carl's Jr. commercial which aired regionally during Super Bowl XLIX in 2015.
Early life McKinney was born in Orlando, Florida and grew up there. She was bullied at school for having dyslexia and dropped out of high school at age 17.
Career McKinney, who describes herself as "a curvier bombshell with big boobs," pursued a modeling career but struggled to find success with an agency. Opting to rely on Instagram as a portfolio, she soon became "Insta-famous" and was profiled in Esquire.
McKinney credits Instagram as greatly contributing to the success she achieved after being in Esquire, including campaigns for Guess. She signed with Wilhelmina Models and has graced the cover of numerous fashion magazines including Jezebel, Ocean Drive GQ Mexico, Galore, and Miami Living also appearing in editorials for Social Life, Men's Health, and Vanity Fair. She was the featured model in Carl's Jr.'s All Natural Burger commercial, which was released online in January 2015 and aired regionally during Super Bowl XLIX.

The success of the commercial led to McKinney sometimes being called "the next Kate Upton," who also garnered national attention for appearing in a Carl's Jr. commercial during a Super Bowl.
