Jessica Alba has appeared topless and bound with black tape in a public service advertisement.
The actress lent her support to the Declare Yourself campaign in a bid to encourage young people to register and vote in the 2008 US election.
The ad displays Alba crying and gagged with black tape across her mouth next to the words "Only You Can Silence Yourself".
"If you don't register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself," said the Fantastic Four star.
"We sign up for MySpace pages and Facebook pages, and download music off the internet. The least people can do is register to vote online, actually making a difference in their world, not just making their lives a little bit cooler.
"I think it is important for young people to be aware of the need we have in this country to get them more active politically."
