Overcoming his initial reactions, Schreiber, 41, admits that he suddenly became conscious about his looks and developed a strong desire to feel more attractive. “Vanity quickly set in, and I thought to myself, ‘I wish my belly was flatter,’ ” he says with a laugh. “Let’s face it, I don’t look great in a dress, but it’s nice to hear I have nice legs.”[/color]
