Jessica Alba's killer ambition 2007-01-01

Jessica Alba is planning to become a serial killer to shake-off her sexy image.

The stunning actress - who sent pulses racing with her antics in 'Sin City' and 'Into The Blue' - wants to emulate screen beauty Charlize Theron and take on a murderous role.

Theron won the Best Actress Oscar, in 2004, for her portrayal of notorious serial killer Aileen Wuornos - for which she completely changed her appearance - and Alba hopes a similar role could gain her the critical acclaim and more serious roles she craves.

A source close to the actress said: "Jessica doesn't want to look like the sexy young thing in every movie she stars in."

Earlier this year, Alba complained of being typecast as a sex siren.

The screen beauty claims she only gets offered parts where she has to show off her body - and insists she is tired of being eye candy.


She said at the time: "The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather, or the horny maid I get all these screenplays that start, 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts.' Somehow, I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman."
