Jessica Alba has revealed that she will be more choosy about film roles when she becomes a mum.
The pregnant actress, whose horror remake The Eye is released in UK cinemas this week, is already taking a break from the big screen since her most recent filming on The Love Guru alongside Justin Timberlake, Mike Myers and Ben Kingsley.
And she doesn’t seem too worried about it either.
“I know how fickle and silly this business is,” she continues. “I know it takes just one movie to put you back up, or you can have five that are great movies that no one sees and you’re down in the gutter again.
“It’s so fickle that you have to get on with your life and keep your priorities straight or you will just go insane.”
Jessica, engaged to Cash Warren, admits that after the birth of their first child she will choose her roles more carefully.
“This is obviously a life-altering experience and to say it’s not going to influence decisions I make would simply be crazy because I’m already a different person and the baby hasn’t come yet.
“I’m sure once the baby is here my priorities will shift even more and spending time away from your child and at work, it has to be well worth it.
“I still feel like I’m just starting. Most actresses that I really love hit their stride in their 30s and 40s and I’m hoping that will be the case for me.”
