Renée Zellweger has admitted that she is not cut out to be a movie star.

The actress said she has to force herself to appear on chatshows while promoting her films.

She told The Independent: "I'm a terrible, terrible movie star. I'm not good at it. I can pretend to be but it takes a lot out of me. It's not my natural inclination to go, 'Oh good! Another talk show!'"

She also insisted that she is not impressed by the perks of the celebrity lifestyle, saying: "Spoilt rotten to me is sleeping on my best friend's couch because I love having private moments with people that are real - that's just how I'm made!"

The 38-year-old is currently promoting new film Leatherheads with George Clooney.
