Paris Hilton: 'I'm really a tomboy'

Paris Hilton has described herself as a "real tomboy".

The socialite insisted that she is most comfortable wearing casual clothes and pursuing activities like playing sports and working with animals.

"I'm actually a real tomboy. A lot of people only see me on the runway, or at parties, or on the red carpet. I'm usually at a pet store or at my ranch or a farm. And I like to go fishing and I like to go look at frogs - like, I'm really random like that," she told Heat.

"I think people don't realise I'm a little kid at heart. If people don't know me, they don't realise I'm very childlike. My favourite thing is to be out doing sports. I like playing ice hockey or going windsurfing. I like playing basketball. I'm just like a tomboy at heart and I think a lot of people don't know that."

Hilton recently admitted that she has no interest in dating famous men in the future.
