Zoe SaldanaZOE Saldana thinks stunts are sexy.

The Avatar actress is inspired by Angelina Jolie and Jessica Biel and loves getting to grips with the action scenes in her movies.

“I have the itch lately,” Zoe said. “I don’t know if it is after Avatar or Star Trek or because I’ve just finished an action film called The Losers, in which I did almost all my own stunts. I think it’s so empowering and sexy.

“I love actresses like Angelina and Jessica. They’re very agile, they incorporate their bodies with their characters and they pick women who are very strong. I really dig that.”

Zoe also credits Angelina, Salma Hayek and Halle Berry for opening up more options to female actresses.

“Before them, women were just sex pots or mothers,” she said. “They were never the heroes who saved the day. They’ve enabled a generation of actresses to have a bigger variety of roles.

“If I wanted to be part of a story that is amazing and had a lot of sexual openness, that’s fine. But I am so grateful to know that, like them, I can open different doors for women.”

    ‘Before them, women were just sex pots or mothers,’ she said.”

    Obviously she never heard of Sigourney Weaver..

  • HI!

    Sigourney Weaver was never a sex pot. The women she refers to are very physically beautiful, sexy and would normally be the sex pot. I like Zoe and hope to see more of her in film. She has a strong presence just like Angelina. I like the fact that all of these women don’t have the standard Hollywood look and don’t act like that non-star like Megan Fox. It would have been nice to see this when I was growing.

    @Brian…I agree with you…Sigourney is VERY attractive–as attractive as these chics as none of them are what one would consider raving beauties ala Liz Taylor, Lena Horne, Vivian Leigh, Diahann Carroll, Grace Kelly or someone like that.

    SteelHottie, you must be blind or an idiot. Halle Berry should be on the top of the “raving beauties” list.
