Jessica Alba taking Spanish lessons

London, Sun, 31 Jan 2010 ANI

London, January 31 (ANI): Jessica Alba is learning Spanish in order to star in Latin movies.

 

The actress added that that many people think her to be Latino.

 

"I didn't want to misrepresent Latinos and I didn't know how to defend myself. But I went to my room and I cried all night. Since then, I've preferred not to comment on the subject," the Daily Express quoted her as telling Siempre Mujer magazine.

 

She added: "I tried to explain to them that, in this country (America), I'm considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well. I grew up eating enchiladas... I identify with Mexicans. It's in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish."

 

She has decided to sign up for Spanish lessons, so she and her daughter Honor can become fluent.

 

She adds, "I know the basics, but I just hired a professor that specialises in Hispanic studies to teach me and Honor. God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual. But it wasn't to be.

 

"I want to make movies in Spanish... There are so many interesting themes and stories that are worth sharing, like the lives of immigrants, for example.

 

"There's a whole world that hasn't been sufficiently explored and I want to be part of it - the violence on the Mexican borders, the political upheaval in Venezuela and Bolivia and the drug trafficking in Colombia." (ANI)
