Jessica Alba said when she guested on the 90s teen soap opera Beverly Hills, 90210, she was told not to make eye contact with the cast at all. The 39-year-old actor has had a long and varied career, starting in the early 1990s with small roles in TVs and movies, before hitting the global stage after starring in James Cameron's hit TV show Dark Angel. Despite only running for two seasons, it launched Alba's career, and she became one of the 'it' girls of Hollywood in the 2000s.
She starred in several high-profile roles in movies like Honey, Sin City, and Fantastic Four. In the past decade, she's stuck to action films and TV and is currently starring in Bad Boys spinoff show L.A.'s Finest. One of Alba's early roles before making it big was Leanne in Aaron Spelling's Beverley Hills, 90210, playing a teen girl who gets pregnant. Her role was mostly forgettable in the context of the show's ten-season run, but has attracted attention since due to her high profile and later success. But, she says it wasn't the best experience.
Alba, appearing on Hot Ones, says during her two-episode appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210, she was explicitly instructed not to make eye contact with any of the core cast. The instruction came with a warning, saying if she did look any cast members in the eye, she'd be fired. Naturally, Alba calls the situation "strange," given that she was sharing scenes with the actors. You can read her full comments below:
On the set of 90210 I couldn't even make eye contact with any of the cast members, which was really strange when you're trying to do a scene with them. It was like you're not allowed make eye contact with any of the cast members or you'll be thrown off the set.
The irony of the situation, of course, is that Alba went on to become a global superstar, while most of the actors in Beverly Hills, 90210 struggled to expand their careers beyond the show after it ended. Even BH90210, the bizarre self-aware comedy reboot, which saw them playing fictionalized versions of themselves attempting to mount a reboot of the original series, failed to make any waves, getting canceled after just one season.
However, the stars felt they were above being decent humans towards their guest stars. Alba gets the last laugh, though, as she remains in the public eye and has had a long and successful career. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of the cast of Beverly Hills, 90210, who are mostly out of the spotlight these days. Only Luke Perry went on to have a truly successful career outside of the show, starring in the likes of Riverdale, but sadly passing away just after filming a cameo in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
