Jessica Alba: mom, movie star, mathematician?
Jessica Alba is all about giving birth – to more kids, to movie roles, to marketing campaigns. Alba, seen here strolling in New York with husband Cash Warren and their child, says she is reveling in motherhood and hopes to expand her family.
“I’d like to have as many children as my body will allow and I’d adopt if I still want more children after that,” she told the UK’s Daily Mail.
Alba married Warren in May and gave birth to their first child, Honor Marie, three weeks later. Click here for more photos of the happy couple’s day out, found in our forums.
She signed up for less believable role for her first time back on the big screen since becoming a mother. Alba will play a young woman who has retreated from the world and is consumed by numbers and math. Things begin to change when she becomes a second-grade math teacher in “”An Invisible Sign of My Own,” in a deal newly hammered out during the Toronto Film Festival.
Also on Alba’s plate is her role in an bondage-inspired public service announcement for Declare Yourself, a national, nonprofit young voter initiative that hopes to get young adults to register and vote in the 2008 election.
In the ad, Alba is bound with electrical tape over her mouth and bare skin as tears pool in her eyes. The ad reads, “Only you can silence yourself. Make them hear you. Register to vote now.”
“I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically,” Alba said in a People magazine interview. “People respond to things that are shocking.”
The actress added that the image “really resonates” with the issue of voting: “If you don’t register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself.”
