Anne Hathaway has claimed that she finds it easy to judge the motivations of people who try to befriend her.

The Devil Wears Prada actress admitted that she is always mistrustful of new people in her life, as she fears being used for her celebrity status.

"I have a finely tuned bulls*** detector and I'm not the sort of person who trusts very easily," Hathaway explained.

"It's possible that, one day, someone could prove to have been good at getting into my life. But it's not specifically an actor thing - anyone in the public eye has that. And I'm lucky I live such a privileged life."

Hathaway dumped her long-term boyfriend Raffaello Follieri in June after he became involved in a fraud scandal.
