The ‘sexiest woman in the world’ will now be heard as the sex star of Playboy magazine in one of its issues this year. Playboy has chosen Alba among its 25 sexiest celebrities and here is a bit of the interview.

What’s the most challenging part of acting in a superhero film?
It’s really exciting. When I was a kid, I always fantasised about being a superhero. And now, I am one! What’s challenging is the fact that, at the end of the day, you have to realise that it’s all just in the imagination. It’s not real. So I have to slip out of my role as easily as I slip into it.
What’s the one thing you would do if you were invisible in real life too?
One thing? I’m not sure. But I certainly would get into a lot of trouble!
You began acting at the age of 13?
I’ve always wanted to be an actor. Even as a child, I remember dressing up and pretending to be someone else. I also loved going to the movies. So yeah, I got an early break and I’m loving every moment of it.
Do you fear being typecast as a ‘sex kitten’ on screen, especially since you’ve now also been voted the sexiest woman in the world?
Not just a sex kitten, I never want to be typecast as anything! I believe actors should have a full range of possibilities and roles to experiment with. There should be no limits where acting is concerned.
So would you pose nude if a scene demanded it?
Now that’s where I’ll draw the line. I’ll never pose nude.
You were once quoted as saying you envisioned a much older man as your ideal partner?
The experience of older men attracts me. When I was younger, I did want my partner be much older than me. But now, at 26, I’m beginning to look at things a little differently. But my ideal man should be intelligent, funny and kind.
So is there a special someone in your life?
Yes, I’m seeing someone, but I’m not going to talk about him or my personal life.
Is marriage around the corner?
Not for a while, I’m only 26!
What would you consider your biggest strength?
I’ve always questioned things, questioned the way the world runs its course. I don’t even agree with a lot the Bible says! I hate that women don’t have equal rights with men, not in society nor in films. My ability to be independent and form my own opinions is, I guess, my strength.
In your free time, you…
Just chill! I love reading, catching up on news, hiking. My work is crazy enough, so when I’m not working, I’m simply relaxing.
So waiting for the edition to come on shelves? Well, I am…
