I’ve always been a tomboy: Biel

by Sep 2, 2012

Los Angeles, Sep 2 (IANS) Actress Jessica Biel had no hassles about shooting the fight sequences in “Total Recall’ remake as she believes she has never been too girly.

Biel, who is engaged to Justin Timberlake, plays resistance fighter Melina in the remake of the hit movie, which sees her battle with Kate Beckinsale.

Asked if she has a reputation as a tough person, she said: “Maybe not tough, but perhaps tomboy.”

“I’ve always been that kind of person – constantly playing sports and never really into make-up or fashion, until about five years ago,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Biel as saying.

The star, who has featured in successful movies like “The Illusionist” and “The A-Team”, admits she has to work hard to look good in her films but gets bored of dieting.

“There are some days when I feel like I can’t eat another chicken breast and if I see another piece of broccoli, I swear to god. I know I feel better when I see myself on screen and I’ve been really dedicated, even though it was a pain in the ass. It’s there forever and you get one chance,” she said.
