“Sometimes I’m sexy, and sometimes I’m not,” says Hollywood actress Elizabeth Banks tells Women’s Health in its October issue, which incidentally has a celebrity on its cover for the first time.
“Sex is always funny. I don’t find it sexy–I find it really horrifying. But it’s an act that we need. And that need, that desire, is what makes it really funny,” says the 34-year-old cutie. “Every dude is trying to get laid, 24/7, from the time they’re 11 or 12. Everything they do is about trying to get laid, yet they’re maybe way too hairy, they fart, they have tempers. They don’t know what the real situation is, and it’s that struggle that I find really funny. Every man wins the lottery when he gets a woman to love him.”
Banks is starring with Seth Rogen in the Kevin Smith comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a “romantic comedy” (according to Banks) about two platonic friends who decide to make a quick buck by producing a porn flick. And that’s cool with her husband Max Handelman, to whom she’s married since 2003.
“I don’t think I’m that special, and he definitely doesn’t think I am,” said Banks. “Because no one is that special. I’m not curing cancer; I’m not saving lives. I play make-believe for a living, so let’s not take it too seriously.”
Does she work on her sex appeal? Guess not: “I’m not a fan of plastic surgery,” she says. “Oh, and I’ve never had a wax in my life. Waxing makes no sense to me.”
Rather ironically, Banks is also starring as U.S. First Lady Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s film on the life of President George W. Bush, W, slated for release next month.
Well, so is Banks sexy or funny? Or both? I have formed my opinion judging from the pictures below. What’s yours? Would you rather be seen with her in Disneyland — or Four Seasons?
