Jessica Alba Wants To Be More Than A Sex Symbol

If Jessica Alba Ever Went Nude...

Jessica Albahas had a number of rather memorable and super sexy roles in her career, but when she first started out things were a little tough for her. Especially during one of her first photo shoots when she was only 19 and still a virgin.

I can safely say that I never paid attention to Maxim magazine until they had Jessica Alba on the cover. Back in 2000 I was totally hooked on this new show called Dark Angel because the lead was super hot. Then she did a spread in this new magazine and I was forever hooked on Jessica Alba. But as she told Style magazine her rise to sex symbol was kind of bumpy:

“My sexuality made me very uncomfortable. I remember my first Maxim shoot. They (photographers) were telling me to pose a certain way, and I was like, ‘Agh! I’m 19. I’m a virgin. I don’t even know how to do that!’ It was so awkward.”

Thank goodness Jessica Alba got over her awkwardness with being sexy. It’s kind of hard to imagine what she would have been like in Sin City if she was still uncomfortable. Though, it should be noted that Jessica Alba is still saying she will never be nude on screen.

'I will never do a nude scene in a movie — not ever. I can act sexy and I can wear sexy clothes but I can’t go naked. I come from a Catholic family and it wasn’t seen as good to flaunt yourself. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off.”

I like to “never say never”, but Jessica Alba seems pretty set on keeping her clothes on. She has used a body double and CGI to appear topless, but we did see her real rear end in The Killer Inside of Me.

Still, it would be a super wonderful day if Jessica Alba ever went topless, for real, in a movie.
