Jessica Biel Pays Tribute To Her Career's Greatest Assets
When the trailer for Jessica Biel's upcoming film Powder Blue leaked today, the internet was abuzz with speculation: would Biel really be playing a more "enthusiastic" stripper than Natalie Portman did in Closer, or would she leave her pasties and elaborately geometric clothes on? Biel's implied the former in the past, and she recognizes the power of her physique to land roles, she now tells British GQ:
"Your face and your body can get your foot in the door, obviously. And I'm thankful for that," she notes. "But I think it's almost historical in Hollywood that there just aren't so many good parts for women as they are for men. I think as long as you're playing the wife or the girlfriend to the lead then you're always playing second fiddle to the guys."
The stripper, on the other hand, answers to no one! If a girl has to take it all off and crack an egg onto her bare chest to come in at the top of the call sheet, who can blame her? In fact, we smell a Megan Fox buddy comedy — it's just too bad that verisimilitude has already been sacrificed.
