Since rising to fame in James Cameron's 2009 3D extravaganza Avatar, you'd have thought Zoe Saldana would have gotten used to the fame game.

But in a new interview the 33-year-old actress reveals the celebrity world still blows her mind.
Zoe is seen here posing on the cover of Flaunt magazine's three-cover August issue, looking sexy in beige-coloured swimsuit-style outfit.

The shoot was done by arty American photographer Yu Tsai and sees Zoe wearing an array of designs, by the likes of Chanel, Balmain and Lanvin.

Speaking to the magazine, Saldana said of fame: 'I work in a business where our sole purpose is to entertain.

'You’re elevated into a position that you become fantasised about.

'It still blows my mind the whole concept of celebrity, you know? How people just go bananas when they see an actor, just walking down the street or whatever.'

Zoe will next be seen in the upcoming action drama Colombiana. After witnessing her parents' murder, Saldana's character grows up to be a cold-hearted assassin.

She works for her uncle as a hitman as her day job, but also engages in vigilante murders that she hopes will lead her to the gang responsible for her parents' deaths.

It is a role far removed from her tree-hugging roles as Neytiri in Avatar.

Dominic Cooper also features on the front of Flaunt's split issue publication this month, promoting his film The Devil's Double.

The third cover shows a pair of naked models, photographed by upcoming British artist Matthew Stone. The summer fashion issue also features DJ wizard, Damian Lazarus and actress Sally Hawkins.
