Jessica Biel Reveals Her Regret

Actress Jessica Biel, 26, has recently revealed that she regrets making the decision to pose topless for men's magazine Gear.

Biel was persuaded into making the decision when she was just 17, in order to shed her "angelic" image in 2000. "It was supposed to show me being sexier and more mature. The idea was: Look at me -- I am a woman, growing up. I had male managers at the time, who were really excited about the photoshoot," Biel says about her intentions.

"The truth is, though, I was in way over my head. I remember calling my dad and saying: 'I screwed up. I went too far and did not stand up for myself,'" the Hollywood beauty revealed to Entertainment Weekly. "That photoshoot was a bad decision," Biel says, regretting the entire experience.

However, looking back, Biel admits that the experience was a "blessing in disguise" because she learned from it immensely.
