Jessica Alba She returned to talk about her rise to the small screen at a young age, and then opened up about some of the pitfalls she faced early in her career in the golden world of Hollywood.
In a recent episode of CNN’s Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?, the actress recounted some of the milestones in her career. Alba started acting at the age of 13 and reached the first Professional breakthrough in 2000 at just 19 he landed the role of Max Guevata on the TV series Dark Angel produced by Fox.
Created by James Cameron, the show helped propel her into one of the most popular and spotlighted faces in showbiz around the turn of the century, establishing her as both a feminist icon of early 2000s television and a feminist icon sex symbol. One aspect of the job that apparently made the star uncomfortable at the time:
I think I understood that I had to help sell the product. And they’re selling it their way, so I realized it was a business decision and there was a strategy behind it. That’s how I was able to distance myself from it. But I think, you know, you can’t change other people’s opinions of what they think or don’t think of you. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with owning your own sexuality. To be honest, I wasn’t that person. All of it it made me very nervousand felt pretty uncomfortable in my own skin.
The actress then explained how motherhood has changed her and her peculiar mindset with which he tried to distance himself from the sex offenders of Hollywood:
When I became a mother, I really began to see myself as a woman, or as a sexual being, or as someone with my own power and femininity. At the time, I felt like I should wear this Armor of Manhood and masculine energy so you don’t get targeted because There were many predators in Hollywood aged 12 to 26 years.
A behavior that, in his opinion, ultimately aimed at conveying a less available and pliable image of himself to the outside world use as a defense:
i was a warrior I put on this energy. I was really tough, believe me. I cursed like a sailor and I think I’ve tried to make myself as complacent as possible so I’m not being taken advantage of.
