Jessica Alba reflected on a scene from one of her iconic films that left her feeling ‘humbled’.
The 44-year-old pointed to the infamous bridge sequence from the 2005s Fantastic four where her character Sue Storm is forced to strip to disappear from a crowd.
During her recent appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival on Friday, Alba recalled admitting that the scene was her ‘least favorite scene’ from the film.
Variety reported that Alba told attendees, “I thought it was terrible.”
“It was very humbling in real life. I grew up in a pretty conservative family and I’m a pretty modest person. I dreaded that scene for weeks.
She further added that she confessed to having the trauma of filming that scene.
“I have a lot of whiplash from those days,” Cash told Warren’s ex.
Despite the humiliation, Alba emphasized that she still admired Sue Storm as a character.
She described the invisible woman as ‘motherly’, ‘very kind’ and morally grounded.
Alba viewed Storm as the superhero who broke gender stereotypes at a time when women in action films were often portrayed as needing to be rescued.
“[she was] not a pushover; she spoke her mind. No matter who you are, you can look up to her,” Alba said
Alba eventually stepped away from superhero movies after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007),
She turned her focus to her entrepreneurial career at The Honest Company.
The role of Sue Storm has been given to Vanessa Kirby in Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps.
