Bridesmaids star Chris O'Dowd: Women don't think I'm sexy

He may be big news in Hollywood these days but Irish funnyman Chris O'Dowd says women just take him for a joke.

Even the Bridesmaids star's attempts at nude scene turned out to be a laughing matter after the cold water humiliated him.

'I just don't think women look at me as sexual,' said the star, who wed British TV presenter Dawn Porter earlier this year.

'They see me more like a guy they would like to set their sister up with. I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I'm the kid from The Wonder Years, rather than Brad Pitt.'

That hasn't stopped Chris from giving being a tele beefcake a try.

Last year he filmed sex scenes in the TV adaptation of The Crimson Petal And The White for the BBC.

Now the 32-year-old wants a second chance to impress after falling short during filming.

He told GQ: 'It was weird because the first time I was naked, I had to get out of a cold-ish bath, and I was like, "Oh, great."

'I'd do it again. Please give me the opportunity!'

While he's happy to experiment, Chris says he and Porter will leave home sex tapes to the likes of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

 'Well, so many of my sex tapes are already online that I feel I don't want to saturate it,' he joked. 'Though you're only as good as your last job – if I put in a great performance sexually, it would do nothing but advance my career.'
