As a child, Jessica was getting sick almost constantly and quite severely. She was repeatedly diagnosed with respiratory diseases, including pneumonia and asthma. However, health problems did not stop her from fighting with her younger brother. As children, they fought so much that they even knocked each other's teeth out. When Alba had already started making movies, she was kidnapped. At that time the young actress was starring in 'Flipper' TV series. The intruders demanded a ransom from the producers and her parents. The police managed to find her, but the criminals were never found. As an adult, Jessica has developed a passion for cooking. She loves spending time in the kitchen, with a particular fondness for Mexican food. The actress has three tattoos on her body – on her neck, wrist and lower back. In 2011, Alba decided to go into business. She became one of the founders of a consumer goods company. The Honest Company, Inc. is thriving today, and Jessica has practically stopped acting in movies in recent years.
