In an interview with ContactMusic, the former supermodel revealed that she thinks directors only think they can cast her as superheroes.
The Resident Evil star, age 30, was born in Kiev in the former U.S.S.R. Jovovich said, "My name has screwed me up more than my looks. It makes Americans go, ‘Oh, she’s foreign, so she has to be an alien or a superhero.’ I’m sure if my name was something anonymous like Melissa Gillheart it would be fine."
