'Sexy' tag is costing Jessica Biel the roles she wants

There are times when Jessica Biel rues being one of the sexiest people in world, because her looks mean that she doesn't always get the parts she wants.

The actress, named Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" in 2005, reveals to the June issue of Elle magazine that the label has sometimes proved to be a bane for her.
"[One director told me,] 'I'm not looking for the sexiest woman; I'm looking for the girl next door,'" People magazine quoted her, as telling the magazine.
"Parts I really want aren't going to me. Like The Other Boleyn Girl with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. I don't want to say that there's nothing I love that I can't have. But there's still the occasional script that the director doesn't want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls," Biel insists.
Biel, whose films include the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2004's Blade: Trinity and 2005's Stealth, can now be seen on the big screen opposite Nicolas Cage in the thriller Next.
The movie has already replaced John Travolta's comedy Wild Hogs, to take the top spot at the UK box office.
In Next, Cage plays the role Cris Johnson, a man born with a unique ability to see up to two minutes into his own future.
