Jessica Biel In Allure: My Beauty "Really Is A Problem"

Jessica Biel graces the June cover of Allure magazine, and inside she talks about boyfriend Justin Timberlake, marriage, and the cons of being so hot.

Biel, 27 says she wants a career like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, and that she struggles to get desirable parts:

"I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, 'The Illusionist' has made a difference -- but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No."

She continues, "I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me -- that's hurtful. And why? You know nothing about me!"

So are her good looks hurting? "It really is a problem," she says. "I have to be blunt."

As for her personal life, she isn't sure about marriage. "I have no idea if I want to get married. I have a lot to do, career-wise."

And she talks about dating Timberlake. "I mean, you love who you love! It's not like you meet somebody one day and say, 'OK, I'm not going to put up with his fame!' or 'Yes, I am going to put up with his celebrity,'" she says. "You can't choose that. It just happens to you."

Yes, being attractive is the problem.

Being attractive is always such a burden for actresses trying to build successful careers: Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Basinger, Sela Ward, Catherine Deneuve...

Yup, no doubt about it, it's being pretty that's your problem.

Jessica Lange, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Basinger, and Susan Sarandon have all won oscars. I don't understand this illogical argument.

[digitalprophet]

I am pretty sure you failed at getting sarcasm on the internets.­.

[sufi66]

I always found my beauty to be a problem too. All I want is to get the good parts too. Why can't they see the inner me?

It's true, you love who you love, even it's yourself.

[RoadCrossingChicken]

Heh-heh!

[mypicasso]

You're hilarious!

[lam3036]

I don't really know who she is but when i saw the headline i felt compelled to write. she is not that hot. she needs to stop the delusional thoughts.

[LargeJ]

I have to respectfully disagree with you. She is SOOOO hot. She's a very beautiful girl. Maybe not for everybody, but Justi Timberlake keeps upgrading.

[mypicasso]

Some people think Justin Timberlake is too good for her! It might actually be true.

[AbyGail]

Good news Jessica. You don't have that much of a problem because you aren't that good looking.

[sufi66]

I'll take Susan Boyle over her ego any day.

[mypicasso]

Harsh!

[Clare53]

Boo hoo.

[Karmatic1]

Yeah, because those uggggly girls like cameron, halle, gwyneth were simply GIVEN their oscars. Acting ability has nothing to do with anything!

[helmboy]

she looks okay but nothing memorable. the ugly seeping out of her over her 'concern' is disgusting.

[dj5850]

I agree. She look "aiiight", but definitely nothing special. I've seen prettier women in the mirror.

Check out her BEFORE and AFTER

She's so annoying and Scarlett and Natalie are MUCH BETTER ACTORS and MORE BEAUTIFUL. Pehaps if she her face didn't look so plastic . . . and she didn't get a NOSE JOB and CHEEK IMPANTS (and whatever else) . . .she would be more believeable as a serious leading lady. Give me a break, Jessica.

Dear Jessica: Give us a break. You starred in a hit TV show, which you left to pursue movies. You've made GREAT money...li­ved high on the hog...you date another star (Timberlake).

All of that has allowed you to do what FEW people ever get a chance to do -- you've been in some big budget films alongside bankable stars working with solid directors. As someone who lives in Hollywood too, here's a tip -- its not about being "too beautiful", so stop being so egotistical and whiny. It's about the PROJECTS that you or your agent picked and they have not performed financially. Hence the phone stops ringing. That's just Business 101.

Not to mention, in Hollywood, pretty girls are a dime a dozen. But unlike so many others, you've had MULTIPLE chances to prove yourself, so stop griping. You've had it good compared to those who are still hoping for even a CHANCE. So with the country in so much economic distress and so many people hurting, try showing some humility and being thankful for what you've had at such a young age!!!!!

She sounds like a spoiled child. As if Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman aren't beautiful! Bah. Perhaps she should work harder on her acting skills instead of posing for beauty magazines. Besides, what ever happened to models gracing the covers of magazines? Why do we have to endure whiny actresses instead who talk about their "hard" lives.

[batterycharged]

Jessica Biel ONLY has parts because she is so beautiful. She seems like a bimbo and her acting is horrible. Name a movie she's been in where she wasn't just eye candy?

She seems like she'd be a great person. But she should be lucky she's a brunette and not a blonde, then people would automatically assume what I know, she's not that smart.

[Sandra Baum]

Maybe she isn't being hired because of her attitude.

[miastella]

Gee, my life is hard because I'm too beautiful, too!!! ;)

[barahsachman]

Isn't it annoying when pretty girls say their beauty is a drag.

[Kaves]

Geez lady, count your blessings.

[FreelanceWriter]

Amen to that. I just ranted about the same thing above.
