JACK BLACK - BLACK HAPPY TO BE SECOND CHOICE

BLACK HAPPY TO BE SECOND CHOICE

Heavyweight funnyman JACK BLACK loves his Hollywood's Most Unlikely Sex Symbol Tag, because it proves humour is indeed the best aphrodisiac. Black has played the lead in a number of films, including SHALLOW HAL and SCHOOL OF ROCK - despite not possessing conventional Hollywood leading man looks. The TENACIOUS D star believes it's because he is seen as more attainable to cinemagoers compared to sex symbols TOM CRUISE and BRAD PITT. He says, "I think it's all down to the fact that I am perceived as gettable, whereas with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, there's no prayer. "The girls have no chance with those guys but me... maybe it's because they think I would be a fun date. "A little humour goes a long way. JOHNNY CARSON said it's the number one aphrodisiac so I must be sexy."
