00:00Thank you for being here.
00:02Thank you for having me.
00:03Great to have you on the show.
00:04I'm so excited to be here.
00:05I love doing your show.
00:06Oh, thanks.
00:07Your hair is particularly high today.
00:09Is it really?
00:11I get excited when you're around.
00:14My hair rises like a beast.
00:17Yeah, no.
00:18Well, let's talk.
00:21I don't want to embarrass you,
00:22but many people think you're one of the most beautiful women
00:24on the planet.
00:25And I'm just curious,
00:26I know that that's a lot to live up to you.
00:27You yourself have said in interviews
00:30that you yourself think you have physical flaws.
00:33Well, yeah.
00:34And the rest of us don't really know
00:35what you're talking about.
00:36You know?
00:37Well, no, I mean, I, you know,
00:40this is all like hair and makeup and stuff.
00:42No, it's not.
00:45By contrast, I have twice as much hair and makeup
00:47as you do right now.
00:49And look at me.
00:51It's a, no, no.
00:52Thank you, that's very sweet.
00:53Yeah.
00:54What is there, but you know, growing up or right now,
00:57is there some part of you that you think,
00:59oh, I wish I could change that.
01:00I wish.
01:00You know, when I was growing up,
01:01I was really kind of nerdy.
01:04I had buck teeth.
01:05I secretly sucked my thumb till I was nine.
01:08So I had the buck teeth.
01:0924, right here.
01:12You got me on that one.
01:13Yeah, yeah.
01:14I was, in my college graduation,
01:15I was like, thank you.
01:19And in all my school photos,
01:22one eye always went in a little bit.
01:24Now you're getting crazy.
01:26It's true.
01:27I had a peg leg.
01:28No, no, that's really true.
01:30I had a hook for an arm, yeah.
01:32So, you know, when I was, I didn't, I mean,
01:34I never really got asked out on dates by anybody my age.
01:39Really?
01:40No, not really until I was like 18 or 19.
01:42So many people who are incredibly attractive
01:44later in life always say that.
01:46You know, we've had, I've had so many supermodels here
01:48who say, oh, I went through an awkward stage
01:50and no one would talk to me.
01:51And I always find it very hard to believe, you know.
01:53Yeah, I had a lot of teary nights
01:56because boys wouldn't call me and stuff.
01:59Yeah.
02:00I did.
02:01My guess is problem no more, right?
02:05Well, I mean, I did.
02:06Problem solved.
02:08Unless guys are too intimidated now, I would think,
02:10you know.
02:11I mean, no, I mean.
02:12They would see you and they would say,
02:12that's Jessica Alba.
02:13I'm not gonna go up, you know.
02:14That's a confident guy who would walk right up to you
02:16and say, Jessica Alba, let's go to Olive Garden
02:18and make it happen.
02:20Well, I don't really like Olive Garden that much.
02:22You don't?
02:23No, not that much.
02:24They have such terrific food.
02:27No.
02:32They run ads in the show.
02:33Yeah, yeah.
02:33Okay, sorry.
02:34No, no, no, no.
02:35Coffee, coffee would do.
02:37Coffee?
02:38Yeah.
02:38All right, I'll do it.
02:39You're asking me out.
02:41I understand recently you,
02:43now you're here promoting Fantastic Four,
02:45but you shot another movie recently
02:47in one of my favorite places, which is New Mexico.
02:48You were in Albuquerque, is that right?
02:49I was in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
02:51Anybody here from Albuquerque?
02:52It's so beautiful there.
02:53It's fantastic.
02:54Did you get any downtime at all?
02:55I worked really hard, you know,
02:58because it was like a sort of a smaller budget
03:00and a lot of work, but I did have,
03:05on all of my down time, I would hit spas.
03:08And right outside of Santa Fe,
03:10they have this spa that we went to,
03:13and I think it's like a swingers nudist spa,
03:17and I didn't know it.
03:18A swing, wait, like it's a spa
03:20where you can get a massage and everything,
03:21but also it, you think there's a sexual component to it?
03:23Well, when you get there, they're like,
03:25the communal tub is right over here,
03:28and the changing room is over here,
03:30and we're like, oh, okay,
03:31but we didn't bring our bathing suits,
03:33and they're like, nobody wears bathing suits.
03:35And I was like, oh, but okay, is it men and women?
03:39And they're like, yeah, absolutely.
03:41Is it possible they were just saying this to you?
03:43No!
03:43No!
03:44No, no, no!
03:45It was very brief!
03:46It's not at all.
03:47The guy was thinking really fast.
03:50No, no, no, no, no, Miss Alba,
03:51we don't wear suits here.
03:53No, no.
03:54Black guys wearing a suit, no, but you don't.
03:57So you should go there,
03:58and you'll see lots of grown men
04:02that are with their wives,
04:04and they're all naked,
04:05and showing their business,
04:08and they're like, you know,
04:09they're like natural, you know,
04:11so it's not like that trend.
04:15So you see a lot of things that you're like,
04:16you wanna choose to see somebody naked?
04:19That's not a choice there.
04:20I agree with that.
04:22I like to, yes, you're right,
04:23I agree with that.
04:24I was kind of freaked out.
04:25I don't like surprise nudity.
04:26No, surprise nudity is no good.
04:27I don't like volunteer nudity.
04:28So I thought it was being punked.
04:30Right.
04:31And I got punked,
04:31and a guy was walking around naked when I was punked,
04:33so I was like, this must be another punked thing,
04:35but it was real.
04:36See, that's the thing.
04:38If you're a celebrity,
04:38and you have an experience like that,
04:40your first thought is probably like,
04:41Ashton Kutcher's here somewhere.
04:43He's here.
04:43Oh no.
04:44And then you go along with it.
04:45All right, I'm getting naked.
04:46Oh no.
04:48Maybe that's what you do.
04:50Yes, I do.
04:52And I'll be naked until I'm punked.
04:55That's my promise to America.
04:57No, so I was a little thrown,
04:59but I love New Mexico.
05:00It's very beautiful.
05:01It's fantastic there.
05:02I want to talk about Fantastic Four.
05:04You, of course, play Sue Storm,
05:06the invisible girl,
05:07and in this role,
05:08you wear a superhero costume.
05:10Yes.
05:11Which has got to be kind of fun,
05:13because I know that, you know,
05:14acting, it's a serious business.
05:16As you said, you work very hard.
05:18You've played a lot of cool roles,
05:19but when they tell you you're going to play a superhero,
05:21it must be fun to put on a superhero outfit.
05:22Isn't it a little bit?
05:23Yeah, it's cool at first,
05:26and then you're walking around
05:27amongst regular people,
05:28and they're all kind of looking at you strange,
05:30and then little kids look at you,
05:31and they're expecting you to do something.
05:33Right.
05:34And I'm like, I can't do anything.
05:36Yeah.
05:37I can go take you to the craft service table,
05:39and we can get some snacks.
05:40Yeah.
05:41My superpower is this cell phone.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Can call people from far away, yeah.
05:47So, yeah, you kind of feel like
05:49you should be bigger, and better, and superhuman.
05:54It puts a huge expectation on you.
05:55And then you're not.
05:56Right, right.
05:57Well, we have a clip here from the Fantastic Four movie,
06:00and if I'm correct,
06:01this is where you're about to get married.
06:04Is this the right clip?
06:05Yes, we're planning our wedding,
06:07and it keeps getting interrupted,
06:08because we're superheroes,
06:10and the world needs us.
06:11Right.
06:12And this is just another one of those times,
06:14but we end up finding out
06:16that the world is coming to an end,
06:18and the Silver Surfer crashes our wedding.
06:20It happens at most weddings.
06:22Let's take a look at this clip
06:23from Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer.
06:28There are many kinds of love.
06:29Could you skip to the end, please?
06:32Reed!
06:32What's going on?
