Biel sings in Paris

Sexy actress Jessica Biel conquered her fears of singing live by performing in a French piano bar.

The actress, who is dating pop superstar Justin Timberlake, braved her stage fright and put on a show during a recent trip to France.

She says: "It freaks me out to sing in public, even though I was sort of a musical theatre kid."

The movie star proved she has overcome her singing fears on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Thursday night when she awkwardly performed Footloose movie theme Almost Paradise.

As a reward, Leno presented the actress with a kid's pink cadillac - the gift she told the host she wanted when she first appeared on his late-night TV show when she was a teenager.
