Actress Jessica Alba recently shared her excitement about returning to the big screen after a 12-year hiatus focusing on her successful Honest Company brand. Alba, 43, revealed her plans during an interview at the Monster Jam World Finals XXIII in Los Angeles.
Alba, a mother of three, explained her decision to step down as chief creative officer of Honest Company to explore new opportunities in the entertainment industry. She expressed enthusiasm for her upcoming Netflix movie, 'Trigger Warning,' set to release on June 21st. Alba serves as an executive producer and stars as a Special Forces commando investigating her father's death in the action film.
Alba founded Honest Company in 2012 after experiencing an allergic reaction to laundry detergent during her first pregnancy. The brand initially offered seven baby-safe products and quickly expanded its product line. Alba's stake in the company contributed to her recognition as one of Forbes' richest self-made women in 2016.
Despite its success, Honest Company faced criticism and legal challenges over product safety and labeling. Alba's resignation from the company last month did not address these controversies. She described her time with Honest Company as a 'labor of love' and confirmed her continued involvement on the company's board.
Alba's return to acting marks a significant career shift after her focus on building Honest Company. Fans eagerly anticipate her performance in 'Trigger Warning' and look forward to seeing her on the silver screen once again.
