Jessica Biel thinks she is too good looking for some film roles.

The 27-year-old actress insists her appearance has often stopped movie directors from casting her, adding she is desperate to win a lead role in a dramatic movie.

She explained: "The way I look really is a problem, I have to be blunt.

"I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me. But if you don't even want to see me - that's hurtful."

Jessica - who plays a stripper in new movie Powder Blue - used to have a no-nudity clause in her contracts, and explained the stipulation led to some interesting castings.

Talking about the times she would choose her body doubles for films, she revealed: "That was a weird experience. I tried to get breasts that I thought were most similar to mine. I mean, we're not dealing with a whole lot going on here. I didn't want anyone who was ridiculously big.

"But a little smaller and perkier in the butt? OK, I did want that!"

The star is currently dating singer Justin Timberlake - who she recently set up home with in New York - and is keen to keep their relationship as private as possible.

She added to Allure magazine: "I have no idea if I want to get married. I have a lot to do, career-wise. You love who you love. It's not like you meet somebody one day and say, 'OK, I'm not going to put up with his fame!' Or, 'Yes, I am going to put up with his celebrity.’

"You can’t choose that. It just happens to you."
