Saldana: 'Working with male cast is sexy'

Zoe Saldana has admitted that working with an all male cast makes her feel "sexy".

The Losers actress, who stars in the new movie with Jason Patric, Chris Evans and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has insisted that she doesn't miss female company while on the set of action films.

Saldana told The Independent: "I love working with boys, and I probably do that more than most actresses. I got to do it on Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean and now The Losers.

"It just makes me feel sexy, I guess. And these kinds of films - sci-fi and action - with all male crews are just the kind of films I want to make. I love girls, don't get me wrong. But, as a woman, to get to play rough characters gives me a lot of freedom and versatility."

The 31-year-old also admitted that being the only woman in the cast has its drawbacks.

She added: "I almost feel like you have twice as much work to do because you don't want to be singled out.

"You're already the only girl, so if you're the one who says, 'I can't do this', it's going to be like, 'She's wimping out because she's a girl', so I toughed it out. I wanted to impress the guys."

Saldana recently revealed that she doesn't enjoy playing roles where she is the "damsel in distress".

The Losers is currently playing in the US and opens in the UK on May 28.
