Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has said that she prefers British people to Americans.

Paltrow, 34, who lives in London with her husband Chris Martin, has outraged Americans by reportedly saying that they are "less civilised and intelligent" than their British counterparts.

According to The Sun she said, "I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology.

"The British are much more civilised and intelligent. They don't talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner."

In response to the comment, an angry US fan apparently remarked: "We're better off if she stays across the Atlantic."
