"Chris O&amp;#039;Dowd has said that women don&amp;#039;t see him as a sex symbol. The Bridesmaids star told GQ magazine that he blames his choice of roles for the fact that he is not viewed as &amp;quot;sexual&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;They see me more like a guy they would like to set their sister up with,&amp;quot; said the actor, who married journalist and presenter Dawn Porter in August. &amp;quot;I play very sweet characters, so people look at me like I&amp;#039;m the kid from The Wonder Years, rather than Brad Pitt.&amp;quot; Last year, O&amp;#039;Dowd tried to break away from &amp;#039;nice-guy&amp;#039; roles and filmed sex scenes in the TV adaptation of The Crimson Petal And The White for the BBC. The 32-year-old said that he wants a second chance to portray such scenes after experiencing unfavourable filming conditions the first time around. &amp;quot;It was weird because the first time I was naked, I had to get out of a coldish bath, and I was like, &amp;#039;Oh, great&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d do it again. Please give me the opportunity!&amp;quot; O&amp;#039;Dowd also joked that a sex tape featuring him and his new wife won&amp;#039;t be making its way online anytime soon. &amp;quot;Well, so many of my sex tapes are already online that I feel I don&amp;#039;t want to saturate it,&amp;quot; he quipped. &amp;quot;Though you&amp;#039;re only as good as your last job - if I put in a great performance sexually, it would do nothing but advance my career.&amp;quot; New!
