“No! Hell, no! Absolutely not. The life that I had, it was for a reason. There was nothing else for me to do. There was something that I saw at a very young age, and there was a reason why I made such a bold decision early on. My kid’s going to grow up really differently, with a lot more opportunities, especially educational opportunities and a different kind of financial stability that I just didn’t have.”

Jessica Alba in Genlux Magazine

I recently interviewed Jessica Alba for the new issue of Genlux Magazine. I met her for lunch, asked her a few questions and used a tape recorder just like a real professional. She didn’t even seem to mind when I stole her napkin to sell on eBay. My favorite part of the interview? Alba was pregnant at the time and I asked her about pregnancy cravings - she said she wasn’t having any but then proceeded to order a plate of fruit…with a side of brussel sprouts.

I told her how odd that was, took a bite of my fish and mango quesadilla and then asked her about the possibility that she would allow her child to go into show business. Fantastic Four Fifteen, perhaps?

Alba and husband Cash Warren welcomed a healthy daughter. Honor Marie, on June 7.

I recently interviewed Jessica Alba for the current issue of Genlux Magazine. In between bites of brussel sprouts and while ignoring my pleas to autograph my box set of Dark Angel, she dished on everything from Christina Applegate to being on all those lists:

Early fashion influences?

“I loved Christina Applegate in ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead!’ She was seventeen and working in fashion. I really loved her in that movie.”

On her upcoming (comedic!) role opposite Mike Myers in “The Love Guru” and how she brought her own interest in Eastern philosophy to the table:

“I dabbled in Eastern spirituality – it totally makes sense to me. Eastern religion makes you directly responsible for your actions. It feels like more of a direct path.”

On being at the top of Maxim’s Hot 100 list and FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World:

“I never put myself in those magazines, they put me in them. I never really cared about it, to be honest.”

But Alba’s much more enthusiastic about her Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actress:

“I love kids! I’ve always loved kids, and [I’ve chosen] to be in movies like “Fantastic Four” where [I’m] playing a superhero, and I get to become that for them. It’s great to be this iconic figure that’s not Barbie, or Bratz, but strong and opinionated and sensitive and maternal.”

Jessica Alba in Estylo Magazine

The last time Jessica Alba appeared on our cover (November, 2007), it was due to her roles in box-office blockbusters such as the Fantastic Four films, Into the Blue and Sin City. Her potent image as an action babe has made her one of Hollywood’s top Latin leading ladies. Now the 27-year-old star is taking on a completely different role, one that is totally new to her—mother. She’s pregnant with her first child, due this month, and that was the first thing on her mind when we talked to her.

Estylo: How are things coming along with your pregnancy?
Alba: Good. Really good, thank you.

Estylo: Any cravings?
Alba: Oh, this is so boring! I don’t! Isn’t that terrible?

Estylo: Some things must be different.
Alba: Well, for sure I eat much more than before. I used to go for long days and forget to eat and grab a meal at night, but now every couple of hours, I turn into Satan if I don’t eat something! (laughs) And I’m much more tired than before.

Estylo: How about emotionally and intellectually—do you feel a change? You have an added responsibility now.
Alba: The way I approach things and see things, yeah. I definitely look at the world and the media and that kind of stuff and think, how will this affect this little person who going to be in my life and what does that mean? When you’re in the world and you’re a grownup that’s one thing, but when you think about how it’s going to affect a little mind it’s completely different. I also think about how I’m more—as much as I can, I have a green mentality about stuff and I’m a lot more eco-conscious. I’m somebody who is trying to be as “green” as possible with my car, my consumer habits.

Estylo: Do you think you are more socially and politically engaged now?
Alba: You know, I’ve always been involved in social issues, certainly in the inner city and educational mentor programs, giving to people who don’t grow up in environments where education or even individuality is fostered. It’s kind of, like, a “deal with life and survive” mentality and if you can rise above it, great. I’ve always been involved in that, and especially if I have time off I can get more involved. It’s important to expose my children to less privileged life, because I think a lot of kids can live in a bubble.
