Alexa Vega
is all grown up -- like, all the way grown up. The actress, best known
for her pre-pubescent turn in the "Spy Kids" film series has reunited
with director Robert Rodriguez for a more grown up role.
Vega
stars in "Machete Kills," the sequel to Rodriguez' 2010 action
exploitation film, "Machete." This time, instead of the young daughter
of espionage agents, Rodriguez cast Alexa as KillJoy, "bodyguard of a
whore house."
Alexa tells THR she's
kept in touch with Rodriguez since the first "Spy Kids" film. "One day
he told me, 'I have a role for you, but I don't know if you're ready to
do this,'" she says.
Maybe what Rodriguez
should have been thinking about is whether the world is ready for Alexa
Vega's clevage. The actress posted a photo to Twitter of an official
film still, printed by Rolling Stone. In the photo, Alexa wears an
ensemble worthy of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show -- an embellished push-up bra, barely there bikini bottoms, and studded leather chaps -- as she holds a gun at her side.
"I've
never done anything like this," Vega says. "I'd never felt comfortable
enough, and I never thought this would be the project where I'd take a
step forward."
