Jessica Alba reflects on the beginning of her film career. In a recent interview that was released on Thursday, June 13, the 43-year-old actress talked about the challenges she had when she first began her career as an actress. Jessica reminisced about the financial strain she had as a child and said it "puts you on your back foot."
“You’re not always taking the roles that are the best,” the Trigger Warning star explained. “You’re just taking roles to survive, which teaches grit and perseverance, but I do wish I would’ve had the skill set and the wherewithal to write and to know about writing and directing and producing earlier in my career.”
Now that she serves as an executive producer on her new Special Forces-themed movie, which premieres on Netflix on Friday, June 21, Jessica remembered initially feeling grateful for booking a role at the start of her career but feeling “desperation” to get by financially.
