Hard to believe, if you look at the sexy actress (33). Equally surprising was how openly Jessica Alba talks about ex-boyfriends and their marriage.

"I've just taken off my shoes, is that okay?" Barefoot Jessica Alba sits on the couch of the "Four Seasons" hotel in Los Angeles and says that her friends wanted to persuade her to go out later: "I would like, but I have so much on my mind. Tomorrow I want to go to a concert, I will not get enough sleep anyway. "

The fact that time with the actress, entrepreneur and two-time mother is in short supply, one not only notices on the tight schedule of leisure time, but also because her film appearances have become rarer. But when she turns, her roles are spectacular, as in the comic thriller sequel "Sin City: A Lady To Kill For." (Start: 9/18). But deadline or not: If the 33-year-old first time chatting, she is unstoppable - and tells of the men who shaped their lives, their great role model and Barbie dolls.
JOY: Her role as a stripper in "Sin City 2" is very intense. They dance lasciviously, freak out, reach for the bottle and the gun. How do you feel after such scenes?
Jessica Alba: Exhausted! But in a positive sense. Privately, I am rather reserved, but in such a role, I turn my head off - an extremely liberating feeling. My job is the only time I allow myself to take control completely.
What keeps your husband, if you show on the screen as a sex symbol or dead weapon bride?
That I am a sex symbol, say only the media. We can not do that at home. But Cash knows how much fun I like doing such action roles, and thinks it's cool - he's all for "Girl Power" (laughs).
Sharp Shooter: She learned how to shoot as a stripper in Sin City 2
Is he interested in your job?
He is happy that I am doing something that I love. At home, he wants to experience the "real Jessica" and not the actress. Therefore, we always keep work and private life separate and live in our own little world - without Hollywood glamor.
In 2012, they founded the Honest Company, a pollution-free household goods company. In 2013 you brought out the book "The Honest Life" about ecological ways of life. Do cash and you still have enough time for each other?
This is really a challenge. I hardly have a quiet minute for myself. And Cash is also very successful with his sports media company. But somehow we get it by, for example, we arrange to "Date Nights".
Speaking of dates, did you know straight away that he's the right one?
I actually noticed that in our first conversation! Some uncontrollable chemical reaction happened at that moment. I remember that all this time I had to smile and thought: With this man I want to spend the rest of my life. It makes me a better person through him, and for me that's the key to a relationship: when you meet someone like that, it's the ideal partner for you!

But he was not your first big love?
No! At 16, I dated a bisexual ballet dancer, with whom I moved night after night through the clubs. During this time I was quite Christian and in my church all whispered about us. But the talk of the people did not interest me. Nevertheless, our relationship did not hold.
It did not work out with your colleague Michael Weatherly (46), with whom you were engaged for three years afterwards ...
Well, that happens (laughs). Thank God time actually heals all wounds. Some people are just not meant for each other. The most difficult part is the transition from the "butterflies in the belly" phase into everyday life.
Cash and you did it. As?
We have been strengthened by the fact that we have been through difficult phases together. This makes you appreciate the good times even more.
Would there have been a reason not to marry your husband?
If he had not wanted a family! I'm from a really big clan and I'm the oldest of 15 cousins. At our family reunions there are already 40 people together. In this family, I got so much love, I really wanted to continue myself.
Would you have been satisfied as a pure housewife and mother?
Well, in our family, women do not just sit at home, they hold the reins in their hands. My mother, for example, is a real fighter, a really tough chunk. I always wanted to be as strong as you.
Happy Family: With husband Cash (35) and her daughters Honor (6) and Haven (3) she lives in LA
Did you do that?
I think so and actually I owe it to my father. I was his first child and he actually wanted a boy. So he raised me like one. I was a real tomboy, I climbed trees and played with my Barbie dolls always action scenes.
Are your daughters going after you now?
Each one has different features: Haven is pretty tough, like me. Honor is a real girl for that. She has just discovered gymnastics for herself - I too was very athletic at that age.
That sounds like everything is perfect for you: husband, children, career ... Are there any problems at your girls' evenings?
Of course, such discussions are very important to me. I love to hang out with friends whom I can fully trust. Then I let myself go over everything that annoys me. We complain about our children who do not listen, about our parents, who sometimes annoy something, or our partners, who watch too many sports programs (laughs).
