Lio Tipton (formerly Analeigh Tipton; born November 9, 1988) is an American actor and fashion model.[4][5] Tipton is known for being the last eliminated on Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model and for their[a] roles in the films Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), Warm Bodies (2013), and Two Night Stand (2014).

Tipton came out as non-binary in 2021.

Early life

Tipton was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[7] They began ice skating at two and a half years old. When Tipton was eight, their family relocated to Sacramento, California and they went to school in Placerville, California.

Tipton competed in four U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships. They and their pair partner, Phillip Cooke, twice became regional champions, and competed twice at the U.S. Junior Figure Skating Championships on the Juvenile level.[8] Tipton retired from competitive skating at 16 but continued to skate in charity ice shows for AIDS foundations and to rebuild a rink damaged in a fire.[9]

They attended Marymount California University in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.[10]

Career

Modeling

Prior to America's Next Top Model, Tipton was signed to I Model & Talent in Los Angeles and walked in Los Angeles Fashion Week for designer Kelly Nishimoto's Fall 2008 collection, Imasu.[11][12]

Tipton in 2008

Tipton became the last eliminated contestant on Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model in 2008.[13] They were recruited through MySpace and asked to audition in Los Angeles.[7] At the beginning of the show, Tipton revealed that they once encountered sex traffickers posing as modeling agents. They were then sold to a Saudi Arabian prince, but managed to get out of the situation before the deal was finalized.[14] Tipton was called first twice, one for the first CoverGirl commercial, which Tyra Banks deemed "the best CoverGirl commercial in the history of America's Next Top Model."[15] They also won the go-sees challenge by booking all three of their go-sees and getting back on time.[16] They were subsequently eliminated in the finale after forgetting their lines in the second CoverGirl commercial, which left Samantha Potter and McKey Sullivan to walk in the finale runway show.[15]

Tipton signed with Ford Models in Los Angeles and Abrams Artists Agency, in both the commercial and theatrical divisions.[17] They appeared in Spain's Marie Claire, Seventeen magazine's December 2008–January 2009 edition, a several-page spread in Maxim,[18] and in Vogue. They were also featured in ads for Forever 21 and Guess.

In 2010, they modeled Geren Ford's pre-fall 2010 collection. For Los Angeles Fashion Week, they walked for Skingraft and David Alexander for the S/S 2010 season.[19]

Tipton was cast in the third season of HBO's TV comedy Hung, portraying Sandee, a young gigolo's scheming fiancée.[23] They played a supporting role in the zombie-apocalyptic horror-romance Warm Bodies, directed by Jonathan Levine.[24] They had a small role opposite Scarlett Johansson in the 2014 science fiction action film Lucy.
