In a recent interview with Marie Claire, the gorgeous Jessica Alba admitted that she could have made more bold and daring decisions in her career.
The Sin City actress explained that in her younger years, she worried about receiving criticism for her movie roles, and as a result, often played it sage.
“I don’t know if i was ever typecast, but i just made very, very safe, boring choices as an actor, and I take full responsibility for that.”
“It wasn’t the roles. It was probably the way I translated them. I was afraid to be fearless and bold.”
I was young, I was afraid of being criticized, and I wanted to appease everyone.
Alba went on to praise the increased number of women in the film industry today.
“It was harder when I was starting out.
There’s much more diversity now. There’s a wider range of successful actresses and beauty.
We didn’t have Tina Fey and Amy Poehler starring movies when I was starting out. Halle Berry wasn’t an Oscar winner, and there was no Jennifer Lopez.
