Playing Marilyn Monroe has given Michelle Williams plenty of opportunities to think about sex symbols- playing one, becoming one, and whether she might already be one (we certainly think so!). As she tells GQ in this month's cover story:

"I think because my character on Dawson's Creek was sexysexualizedsexualI saw all the negative attention and connotations that can come along with that," she says on initially rejecting her sex symbol status. "And that those things can keep people from seeing you clearly."

But now that Michelle is a little older and a lot more secure, she's eager to have all eyes on her once more:

"It's funny spending your twenties running away from it, and then you hit your thirties...wait a second! Come back! I want that time back when I didn't appreciate what I had!," she admits. "That kind of ripe sexuality, when you hit your thirties you feel more in possession of it, you feel it's not something that can be sort of taken away from you and reassembled."

Considering you've been taking our jaws and dropping them to the floor from If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000) right up through Take this Waltz (2011), Michelle, we think you've got nothing to worry about.
