The Into the Blue star recently topped the list of the 100 sexiest women in the world by FHM magazine. Alba finds her sex symbol status to be funny.
The 26 year-old told InStyle magazine that she loves to defy authority. Alba also revealed that she developed a womanly body from an early age. She said, "I had womanly curves at a young age. Usually kid actors are a few years older than the roles they play. I was two or three years younger."
Alba added, "I love challenging authority. It probably wasn’t easy being my parents. The second somebody says no to me is the second I’m going to jump up and say yes."
