Washington, Dec 4: Actress Jessica Alba has revealed that she loved portraying a normal character in the new film ‘Awake’ - because she is tired of playing a superhuman.

The 26-year-old actress said that after two ‘Fantastic Four’ films, she was keen on dumping her lycra costumes and return to be an ordinary person.

"I really liked not having to play a superhero. I didn't have to do any action scenes; I didn't have to dance; I didn't have to scuba dive," Contacmusic quoted Alba, as saying.

‘Awake,’ a thriller/drama film written and directed by Joby Harold, focuses on the life of a man named Clay, played by Hayden Christensen, who has been cast opposite Alba.

Jason Kliot, John Penotti and Joana Vicente have produced the film. (ANI)
