MENA SUVARI - MENA SUVARI: 'I LOOK 15'

Actress MENA SUVARI is resigned to the fact she looks like a teenager, and instead tries to make the most of her youthful looks.

Suvari, who shot to fame playing the schoolgirl object of KEVIN SPACEY's desires in AMERICAN BEAUTY, is actually 25 - but admits she looks ten years younger.

She says, "I look like I'm 15. I try to work on that. I always joke that I should take up drinking and smoking so I'll look older."

Nevertheless Suvari insists she leads a "middle-aged" lifestyle with older husband, 42-year-old cinematographer ROBERT BRINKMAN.

She tells the NEW YORK POST, "If someone would have told me when I was a teenager that I'd be married at 25, I would have said no way. But things always happen when you least expect them to."
