Christina Ricci has revealed that she wants to be an action star.

The actress said she is keen to appear in big-budget action movies after enjoying her role in upcoming thriller Speed Racer.

She is quoted as saying: "I just did Speed Racer. There's a lot of action and fighting. I really got into it.

"Ever since then I want to be an action star. I'm too small to be a reasonable action star. But I can be a spy, because it's good to be small if you're a spy. Because I can fit into small spaces."

The 28-year-old added: "I also want to play a cop. I also wanna have that uniform."

She recently revealed that a monkey attached itself to her left breast while filming latest movie Penelope.
