Jessica Alba is out of this world

Jessica Alba stars in her new movie, Escape From Planet Earth looking a little blue. The highly anticipated animated film portrays Alba as Lena a blue alien.

Alba during a phone interview with Latina Magazine says that she has very little in common with the character from this movie. She is neither bitter, loveless or hell-bent on destroying the world like her character, Lena Thackleman.  “I mean, I’m not a blue alien. I don’t have a bob. I have kids,” she explained.

Unlike Alba, who has been married for nearly five years to husband Cash Warren—with whom she has two daughters (Honor Marie, 5; and Haven Garner, 2)—Lena is single and determined to find love at any cost. “I think everybody wants to be loved – even baddies,” Alba said. “And this alien never really had luck with another partner in any way, so she had to go to another planet to find love.”

Alba goes on to talk about the crazy attributes that make up her love-sick character. “She’s willing to sacrifice her own planet for it. Which is even more of a reason to call that alien crazy {Laughs}—completely crazy. I don’t feel like I’m that crazy!” she added.

Escape From Planet Earth opens in theaters nationwide Feb. 15.
