Jessica Alba isn’t afraid of straying from her usual glamorous appearance.
The actress, 43, displayed her bloody makeup as she shared behind-the-scenes snaps for her brand new action film, Trigger Warning.
The photos showed a much more adventurous side of Jessica, with the actress seen practicing a stunt and even posing with a knife inside a police car.
‘A little bit of #BTS while filming…. Trigger Warning is almost here… @netflix and chill with me tomorrow!?’ she captioned the post.
In the snaps, Jessica filmed scenes in a desert-like landscape, taking a break in her ‘blood’-stained trousers, displaying her realistic dirtied-up complexion and gashes, and posing with what appeared to be a weapon brandished over her shoulder.

The film, now officially out, sees Jessica play Parker, a Special Forces commando who ‘takes ownership of her father’s bar after he suddenly dies, and soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown,’ according to IMDb.
Directed by Mouly Surya, the cast also includes Mark Webber, Alejandro De Hoyos, and Anthony Michael Hall.
Jessica attended a screening of the film last week with her two daughters, Honor, 16, and Haven, 12.
She shares her two girls, as well as six-year-old son Hayes, with husband Cash Warren.
The actress has been active in Hollywood for over 20 years and when asked if she wants her kids to follow in her footsteps, admitted that she would rather they stepped behind the camera.
She told People: ‘The thing is, I think if you tell your kid anything, they’re going to do the opposite, right. If they do want to be a performer, then being able to be a producer and a writer, or a director.’
The Into The Blue star added, ‘I think having that leadership role is really important to the art and be part of the art in a way where they feel like they can have more autonomy and there’s more dignity.’
The siren got her big break when she was cast in the leading role of Dark Angel in 2000 and felt a ‘desperation’ in taking the job at the time, but noted that feeling stood her in good stead for the rest of her career.

The Into The Blue actress all glammed up in Cannes last week
She said: ‘You’re just so happy to be there and it’s like, “Did the check clear?” And there’s a desperation like, “Please God, I need this job.” It just puts you on your back foot. You’re not always taking the roles that are the best.’
The Honey star has now served as an executive producer on a number of projects but wishes she had had that sort of skill set earlier on in her career.
She said: ‘You’re just taking roles to survive, which teaches grit and perseverance, but I do wish I would’ve had the skill set and the wherewithal to write and to know about writing and directing and producing earlier in my career.’
