Jessica Biel: Humour is key in romance

Justin Timberlake's new love reveals what she finds attractive in the opposite sex

Wednesday, 18 July 2007

Want to woo Jessica Biel? Act ridiculous.

"Funny is key – funny, silly, someone who doesn't take themselves seriously, someone who can be ridiculous," Biel, 25, tells Parade magazine about the kind of man she goes for. "That's the most attractive thing."

Asked if she can maintain her sense of humour while paparazzi are snapping photos of her with beau Justin Timberlake, Biel answers, "Absolutely. ... You do really have to just get into a place where you feel Zen about it."

Biel and Timberlake were photographed together last month in various European cities where the singer was on tour. "It's so funny how it really has become such a crazy, crazy world," she says. "You really do just have to laugh at everything."

And she's hoping audiences will laugh at her new comedy, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, costarring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. In it, Biel's sex appeal is part of her shtick.

"Funny sexy is way more fun and definitely easier because you can be ridiculous," she says of the role. "The point is to sort of look silly and to make fun of yourself."

"Sexy sexy can be sort of boring," adds Biel, who earlier this year said her own allure has hurt her career in some cases.

But when asked about her image – including some sexy photos in a recent GQ, – Biel laughs it off.

"It's never nearly as sexy [posing for a photo shoot] as it appears in a magazine. I could never be a model because you're always standing in an awkward position and your back hurts, and you're wearing heels lying on a rock or in the sand or something. You're like, 'This is weird. I'm uncomfortable. I'm itching. I need to scratch.' "

Returning to her familiar refrain, she adds, "So I would much rather laugh and do a funny sexy scene."
