Jessica Alba was a Hollywood actress who rose to fame in the early 2000s, starring in blockbuster movies like Sin City, Into the Blue, and Fantastic Four. However, after having her first child in 2008, she decided to retire from acting when she was at the peak of her career due to health concerns. Her mother had cancer at a young age, and because of it, she suffered from chronic illness and had “5 surgeries” before she turned 11 years old. She then started her own brand of personal care products called The Honest Company, which specializes in eco-conscious, chemical-free baby products and more.

While Alba has made sporadic appearances in TV series such as L.A. Finest, its been over a decade since she has had a major film role. According to Looper, one of the biggest reasons why Alba doesnt fill her life with wall-to-wall acting projects anymore is because she doesnt want that, and she made the conscious decision to pull back. She has also aged out of the roles that made her famous.
