Avatar star Zoe Saldana confesses her fiance is not the type of guy she usually goes for.

The American actress, who recently announced her engagement to her boyfriend of 10 years, entrepreneur Keith Britton, told GQ magazine that she amazed herself with her choice of partner.

"He was a model, and now he's a finance guy. It's funny, I never had a thing for these Abercrombie and Fitch boys, never," she said.

"They were just too, y'know... big necks and everything. But then here's this all-American guy: hunter, beer drinker, all that bulls**t. And in ten years we haven't been able to get rid of each other."

Zoe, who also starred in Drumline ad Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, recently disclosed what she looks for in a man.
"I love men's hands," she said.

"Not just nice, manicured hands. I feel as though hands say a lot about you and your history. There's something very abrasively fragile about a man's hands.

"The only thing I can't tolerate in a human being, especially in a man, is ignorance.

"Somebody who talks in labels, or talks just to hear themselves speak. To me, judgment day is when you open your mouth and say something that lets me know what kind of personality you have. I mean, I'm not saying I love a man who cries, but I think that can be very sexy."
