Movie beauty JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT is fed-up with never being offered plum roles, and ideally wants to star in a period drama or as a “sexy action hero”.
The I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER star thinks her career is on a “slower” path than her contemporaries and wants to play more challenging characters.
Hewitt says, “A lot of people know me as a young person from (hit TV show) PARTY OF FIVE, so there are a lot of parts that I’m not even considered for.
“I’d love to do a sexy action hero or a JANE AUSTEN story or something like SLIDING DOORS, but that’s just not where casting directors see me right now, so I just have to wait.
“I’m on a slower career path than other actress, and I’m definitely wary of jumping into racier stuff just to prove that I can take on older roles.
“A lot of young actresses try that to prove they can be in more grown-up films, but I don’t think it ever works in your favor.”
