A funny thing happened to Jessica Alba

In her most recent movie, “Good Luck Chuck,” Jessica Alba falls into a penguin pond, stabs Dane Cook with a dental tool and tears off her skirt by closing it in a car door.

The role represents a departure for Alba, who gained fame as an action star.

The 26-year-old actress, whose current projects include a horror film and a romantic comedy with Mike Myers, talks about her dream career and what it’s like to be one of the world’s sexiest women.

Q. Did you always want to be an actor?

A. I kind of always had it in my mind. I’ve always loved entertaining. It’s kind of in my blood. My grandmother and grandfather were dancing and singing when they met each other. There’s a bunch of theater actors and artists, painters, sculptors in my family. So it’s all kind of just been what I’ve always been around.

What are the pros and cons, personally and professionally, of being considered one of the world’s sexiest women?

I’m like everybody else. I get insecure about things just like everybody else. I wake up in the morning and think, “What the hell am I going to do with my face today or my hair? What am I going to wear?” What’s your dream role or collaboration?

I’m kind of living one now. I have to say, working with Mike Myers and being his leading lady in the film (“The Love Guru”), that’s huge. … He’s brilliant, and I’m really excited about what’s happening right now. I try not to think too much about what if I could do this or do that. I kind of like to just take in the moment and go for the ride and enjoy it as much as I possibly can, because in three months it’s going to be over, and I’ll be onto something else.
