Whether in business or her personal life, Jessica Alba always has a growth mindset. The actress is getting back to her kick-butt roots with “Trigger Warning,” which premieres today on Netflix. Only this time around, as an executive producer, the “Dark Angel” and “Fantastic Four” alum had much more input.
“I knew I wanted to create a badass action film where the woman wasn’t the damsel in distress or cold and heartless,” Alba, who underwent two months of intense training and fight choreography for the movie, tells Alexa. “Instead, I wanted you to feel [my character] Parker’s softness and vulnerability as much as you understand her rage as she unravels the mystery around her father’s death and seeks vengeance.” The Honest Company founder (who recently stepped down as the Chief Creative Officer but continues on as a company board member) spun off the lifestyle brand into the feel-good home makeover show “Honest Renovations” with co-host Lizzy Mathis.
Season 2 will return to Roku later this summer. While she will be all over your TV, offscreen the mom of three (daughters Honor , 16, Haven, 12, and son Hayes, 6, with husband Cash Warren) tells Alexa that her priority for the hot months is to “hang with my kiddos and make memories.” Following in her parents and grandparents’ footsteps as “the ultimate hosts,” the party maven plans on throwing the best barbecues, swim parties, and backyard movie nights all season long.
She will no doubt look r.
