Jessica Alba says she hates being typecast as a sex kitten.

The screen beauty confessed she's fed up with being labelled a 'sexy girl' and of being asked to play whores and saucy maids.

The 'Sin City' beauty also hinted she'd like to be offered more serious roles, like actress Natalie Portman.

The brunette actress revealed: "The scripts I get are always for the whore, or the motorcycle chick in leather or the horny maid. I get all those screenplays that start, 'Tawnya is in the shower. The water streams down her naked, perky breasts.

"Somehow, I don't think this is happening to Natalie Portman."

Meanwhile, Jessica has confessed she is desperate to strip off on the big screen - but is terrified of what her father would say.

The sexy actress says she would have no problem showing off her curvaceous figure in a movie if the role demanded it.

However, Alba, who is currently sending pulses racing in new movie 'Into The Blue' as a bikini-clad heroine, is worried her prudish dad would be furious.

She said: "I'm going to have to face a situation one day when a big director has an amazing script and wants me to do a nude scene

"I know my father would lose his mind over it."
