London, June 01 (ANI): Actress Jessica Alba was left feeling estranged on the sets of her upcoming film ‘The Killer Inside Me’ as everybody refused to speak to her due to her gruesome makeup for the shoot.

The American actress was made up to look beaten and bruised for her role as a woman who is beaten beyond recognition by a psychotic killer, played by Casey Affleck.

And Alba has admitted that her co-workers avoided her before she filmed the graphic scene because her gory make-up was so disturbing.

“(The shoot) was a couple of days. I was (emotionally) a complete mess. It was hot, and the latex (make-up) was hot. Nobody would talk to me; it made people around me really uncomfortable,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

However, Alba has defended the violent moment, insisting it reveals her character’s true nature.

“It’s the scene that tells you the most about her. She didn’t hit back, she didn’t fight, she just let him do it. There’s no hands in the air, no blocking it. It’s a really disturbing movie, a really disturbing character - but it’s supposed to be. It’s supposed to be awful… I felt she had a death wish, because she was always egging him on and provoking him. She finally found a man who was man enough to go through with it,” she said. (ANI)
