Jessica Alba wants to be "tough, not beautiful"

Actress Jessica Alba has revealed that she's desperate to get rid of her 'sexy' image - because she wants to be known for her 'tough attitude'.

26-year-old Jessica claims that she wold much rather "slay a guy" with her fists than her looks - because she believes her beauty 'isn't important'.

She is quoted as saying: "I'd rather slay a guy with my fists than knock him out with the way I look. I know people like what they see and I'm totally happy to dress up and look sexy but I just see it as playing a part.

"Underneath I'd prefer to be known for something else, like being tough or being smart. It makes me feel more confident to know I can hold my own in a fight than it does to look in the mirror and think I look beautiful."
