The actress revealed that she wants to be recognised for being "smart", and even hopes to win male attention by developing a "tough girl" image.
"I'd rather slay a guy with my fists than knock him out with the way I look. I know people like what they see and I'm totally happy to dress up and look sexy but I just see it as playing a part," Alba is quoted by the Evening Echo as saying.
"Underneath, I'd prefer to be known for something else, like being tough or being smart. It makes me feel more confident to know I can hold my own in a fight than it does to look in the mirror and think I look beautiful."
Alba recently spoke about her plans to avoid blockbuster movies.
