I recently interviewed Jessica Alba for the current issue of Genlux Magazine. In between bites of brussel sprouts and while ignoring my pleas to autograph my box set of Dark Angel, she dished on everything from Christina Applegate to being on all those lists:
Early fashion influences?
“I loved Christina Applegate in ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead!’ She was seventeen and working in fashion. I really loved her in that movie.”
On her upcoming (comedic!) role opposite Mike Myers in "The Love Guru" and how she brought her own interest in Eastern philosophy to the table:
“I dabbled in Eastern spirituality – it totally makes sense to me. Eastern religion makes you directly responsible for your actions. It feels like more of a direct path.”
On being at the top of Maxim’s Hot 100 list and FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World:
“I never put myself in those magazines, they put me in them. I never really cared about it, to be honest.”
But Alba's much more enthusiastic about her Nickelodeon's Kid's Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actress:
“I love kids! I’ve always loved kids, and [I’ve chosen] to be in movies like “Fantastic Four” where [I’m] playing a superhero, and I get to become that for them. It’s great to be this iconic figure that’s not Barbie, or Bratz, but strong and opinionated and sensitive and maternal.”
