Melbourne, Nov 14 : Lara Bingle has put her modelling career on hold to attend acting and TV presenting classes at renowned star-factory NIDA.

And the blonde admitted that she was so nervous on her first day to the class that she had to ask her mum to drop her off.

"On the first day, my mum dropped me off because I was quite nervous," the Courier Mail quoted Bingle, as telling Confidential.

"I was like: ''You''ve got to drop me off because I don''t want to be by myself, and then can you pick me back up?'' " she added.

Bingle said she took up classes because it was out of her comfort zone.

"Your confidence can go up and down all the time and having this will help me a lot. The course is pretty full on but I love it," she said. (ANI)
