Milla Jovovich

Movie news - Actress Milla Jovovich will be forever linked to her 'Resident Evil' character Alice and she's fine with that.

Milla recently said in an interview she related quite well to her alter-ego in the movie series, but it is not because of the sexy and violent nature of the character.

The 36-year-old star - who has five-year-old daughter Ever with her director husband Paul W.S. Anderson - finds it easy to compare herself to Alice, the gun-toting protagonist of the film franchise, because her character is a mother, which is what the brunette beauty ''likes most'' about the movie series.

She said: ''I think women here in the US maybe feel like she's dressed sexy and with a gun and that's just so obvious. The thing I've always liked most about 'Resident Evil' is the fact that Alice is a mother and, apart from the chaos and the violence and the bloodbath, the essence of the story is about a woman trying to save a child, which everybody can relate to - especially women.''

Milla also sees a number of Alice's personality traits in herself, such as her alter-ego's ability to promise herself that is going to get a job done and then seeing that pledge through.

She added: ''I relate to Alice in the sense that she keeps her promises. When she says she's going to do something she does it. I'm also a very loyal person.''
