Ryan's Pretty Boy Bye Bye

Ryan Phillippe sick of his pretty boy image.

The Crash actor with his piercing blue eyes and youthful good looks says he wants more gritty roles.

The 33-year-old’s told Reuters: "I'm looking now to go into a more character-based direction that is maybe not as straightforward as some of the stuff I've done recently."
 
"Right now I'm more interested in getting a little wild."

Another thing he wants to shake off is the attention of the paparrazi.

Ryan added: "You're a sitting duck and a target they can rely on at any point in time because you're in a car and you're easily followed."

"Every day of my life, as I leave my neighbourhood, someone is following me."

"I try to not to spend too much time worrying about what people think about me or I'd end up in a cave."
