Hollywood starlet Jessica Biel has advice for men struggling to find a date.
“No cheesy lines,” the actress told AAP in a video interview in Los Angeles.
Biel, a regular on Maxim and FHM’s annual sexiest women lists, has been in a two-year relationship with Grammy Award winner Justin Timberlake and past beaux include Fantastic Four’s Chris Evans.
Through the years the 27-year-old has heard plenty of pathetic pick-up lines.
“A cheesy line is ‘Do you have a mirror in your pocket because I can see myself in your pants?’,” Biel laughs.
Biel’s new movie is the animated family comedy Planet 51 featuring an all-star cast of voice talent headed by John Cleese, Gary Oldman, Justin Long, Dwayne Johnson and Sean William Scott.
In Planet 51 Biel voices the alien character Neera, who is patiently waiting for her next door neighbour Lem (Long) to ask her out.
Lem is too shy.
“Just be yourself. Be confident. Go for it,” Biel suggests for nervous males suffering like Lem.
“That’s sexy when someone walks up and says ‘You are interesting. I would like to take you out some place exciting’.”
Planet 51 is a twist on the usual sci-fi movie, with humans portrayed as the alien invaders. American astronaut Chuck Baker (Johnson) lands on Planet 51 and discovers it inhabited by little green creatures, including Neera and Lem.
The creatures believe Baker is the alien invader.
“Planet 51 is about this idyllic little planet that is kind of a homage to the retro innocence of the 1950s,” Biel explains.
“They are terrified of aliens attacking. For them, aliens look like human beings.
“A human astronaut actually lands on their planet by mistake and scares the entire town terribly.
“The funny thing is he is way more scared of them than what they are of him.”
Biel, whose breakthrough role was in the TV series 7th Heaven, has an eclectic slate of films opening in theatres the next year. She stars alongside Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas in the potential Oscar nominee, Easy Virtue; is the lead in the romantic comedy Nailed about a waitress who has a nail accidently lodged in her head; and she is currently filming the potential blockbuster, The A-Team.
Preparing for the A-Team, a re-make of the 1980s action TV series of the same name, Biel has picked up plenty of skills to fend off men in bars armed with cheesy lines.
Her A-Team weapons training includes shooting M4 machine guns and 9mm Berettas.
“You never know when a machine gun may be lying around and you need to take justice in your own hands,” Biel joked.
