you can't help being turned off a little at the thought of being plastered to the ceiling by your boyfriend's man-juice

'I'm not easily grossed out,' says Anna Faris, seriously. 'But you can't help being turned off a little at the thought of being plastered to the ceiling by your boyfriend's man-juice.' Anna is, of course, talking about one of the messier moments from Scary Movie, the spoof slasher flick that propelled her from obscurity to international sex-symbol.

Man-juice aside, though, is she happy with her new status? 'I don't know if I'm a sex symbol. I'm not Carmen Electra - I don't really have the boobs for it. I do love to be sexy though, but then who doesn't?' Indeed. But that can't have made the more intimate moments on Scary Movie any less embarrassing to film. 'The love scene was tricky,' she admits. 'In the script it just said things like, 'Bobby unhooks belt and a huge bush comes flying out.' I just started giggling during one take and that helped.'

Luckily, Anna hasn't been put off acting entirely - Scary Movie 2 is out this month - but the tragedy is that her career prevented us Brits from getting Anna for ourselves. 'I was going to move to London to work in an ad agency, but I fell in love with an actor from LA. So I decided to try to be an actress.'

So if we'd managed to produce some nice English boy for her to fall in love with she'd now be living here? 'Now there's an idea. I could move around the globe falling in love.'
