Amber Heard is tired of her 'sex symbol' image in Hollywood and, therefore, has decided that she doesn't want to be Hollywood's sex object anymore.
The 'Never Back Down' actress doesn't want her looks to overshadow her talent and feels that being Hollywood's sex object is incredibly frustrating, E! Online reported.
