"Spy Kids" star Alexa Vega is seemingly looking to throw off her wholesome childhood reputation and recently tweeted a racy picture of herself in a bra to further erode old impressions of her.

Vega is shown wearing a bra while on the set of her new movie "Machete Kills" in the photo she posted on social networking site Twitter.

Vega is best known for her previous roles as a childhood actress in family-friendly movies such as "Little Giants" and "Spy Kids." However, Vega, now 23 years old, is attempting to show off her sexy side and let everyone know she is ready for more mature roles, and that the little girl everyone is used to seeing is long gone.

The young actress is currently filming alongside other Hollywood stars Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, and Vanessa Hudgens.

Vega has tried to interact with her followers on Twitter a lot recently, and just on Sunday she posted, "We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us."

Many have taken that posting to evidence her new drive to shed the image that many perceive her to have until now; an innocent, young and wholesome actress.

Unknown to many, Vega despite her young age is in fact already married, and about to have a divorce from her husband of two years, Sean Covel. The couple have a large age difference of 13 years, and it appears as though that difference may have been a factor in the divorce. The divorce papers cite "irreconcilable differences" as the grounds pleaded for the split.

"I believe that either you control your attitude or it controls you," Vega tweeted soon after the divorce announcement was made.
