Jessica Alba is keen to quash her reputation as a sexy screen siren - insisting she is really a prude.

Despite slipping into lycra for the 'Fantastic Four' films; playing a sexy vixen in 'Sin City' and peeling off for various magazine photoshoots, Alba insists she is famous in the movie industry for being shy.

She says: "Other than Sin City, I don't really wear skimpy outfits in my movies. People know that I'm a prude. Word has gotten around."

The actress famously has a no-nudity clause in her contract and only agreed to bare her back for a scene in new movie Awake, insisting, "That's it. Above the waist, back. And nobody was in front of me but a wall."
