Jessica Biel feels "accepted as a woman" now she is a sex symbol.

The 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' star - who is dating Justin Timberlake - has been hailed for her beauty all over the world and ranked number one in Stuff magazine's 100 Sexiest Women 2007.

When asked how it feels to be an international sex symbol, Jessica told the New York Post newspaper: "It's extremely flattering. It's nice to be wanted and desired, you think, 'I'm being accepted as a woman now.' That's kind of cool."

The 25-year-old - who starred in the remake of 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'The Illusionist' - recently revealed she finds sexy "boring" and prefers working with funny men.

She said: "Sexy sexy can be sort of boring. Funny sexy is way more fun and definitely easier because you can be ridiculous. So I would much rather laugh and do a funny sexy scene.

"Funny is key - funny, silly, someone who doesn't take themselves seriously, someone who can be ridiculous. That's the most attractive thing in a man."
