Jessica Alba was once a
dedicated Christian.
The 24-year-old actress, who battled a series of health problems and also went through periods of reflection as she grew up, came to embrace the church and looked for answers there.
"I was questioning why I was on this planet. I was like, 'I'm not just floating through life like everybody else - I hate school, I don't have any friends, I feel like an alien in my family. There has to be something out there", Alba confessed.
"I guess that was my only way to wrap my head around mortality. And I was sick all the time, so I thought about death a lot", the actress added.
"I had asthma and kidney problems, and my tonsils would swell up and I couldn't breathe. My lungs collapsed while I was in surgery once. I turned blue twice. And when I was 10, my appendix almost burst. It was just hell being a kid.", the Fantastic Four star confessed.
