Jessica Biel hates being judged on her looks

Jessica Biel hates being judged on her looks.
The screen beauty - who is dating pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake - is sick of losing out on roles because directors think she is too beautiful to play certain parts.
She said: "It's ridiculous to judge an actress on her looks. What an actor does, innately, is to change themselves physically and emotionally, to play any role. That is my job as an artist - to be a chameleon. But sometimes it's hard to convince people that."
Biel believes she missed out on several roles after being named Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine in 2005, because directors felt she was too attractive to portray the 'girl next door'.
The 25-year-old actress is also unhappy with the attention that goes with being a Hollywood star.
She said: "Look, I want to work in this industry and have a long career, but at the same time I want to keep my anonymity. I don't like what happens to my life when a little bit of fame is thrown into it. It's something I find very strange."
