Reality TV star JESSE JAMES’ rise to fame has struck fear in his actress wife SANDRA BULLOCK – because she’s convinced her own star power is dwindling.

The daredevil’s U.S. TV show Jesse James is a Dead Man has made him a hit on Bullock’s movie sets, where the actress is used to getting most of the male attention.

But she admits she is now left green with envy whenever her male colleagues approach her – because they always want to talk to her man.

She says, “I guess it’s called man crush or a dude crush… He does cool stuff. It’s awesome but it’s a little disheartening. I go to set and I want to be the big actress – I’m the lead one here. And everyone is like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but where’s Jesse?'”
