'I first noticed that when I was about 13. I was very shy,' said the award-winning actress.
'Being considered beautiful, I always felt that people were waiting for something more,' she added.
'I imagined you were supposed to have an intellectual ability – and I'm making no claims here – proportional to your supposed good looks.
'I think that's what I meant when I was talking about beauty. I felt I should be proving I deserved the attention; that I should be doing something special,' she said.

I was kidnapped by evil gang who drugged me & stuffed me in suitcase… trolls think I made it all up, says Chloe Ayling
A BRITISH model who was drugged and kidnapped in Italy says that people still don't believe her story. Chloe Ayling has been accused by trolls online of staging her own kidnapping, in a horror which she says "never ends". 3 When the model was 21, she was drugged and kidnapped after travelling to Milan, Italy, for a photoshoot. Upon arriving at the "studio" on that day in 2017, she was driven to a remote warehouse in Truin by Lukasz Herba. Herba was a 30-year-old comuter programmer from Oldbury, West Midlands, who held Chloe hostage for a week. He was eventually arrested and jailed for his crime. However, in a new documentary, Chloe revealed that the horror from the kidnapping "never ends". Despite Herba being jailed for kidnapping her, the model revealed that she still faces backlash online for speaking out about his crime. Some trolls even accused her of making the entire story up. Chloe said: "It is always people who don't know the facts, they judge too quickly and jump in before knowing the full story. "You can never get offended by it really because they don't know." The star later appeared on Lorraine to promote the documentary, where she opened up more about how the doubters made her feel. She said: "I thought it would be easy, I am really not good at talking about my feelings. "I had to relive it again and I got emotional about things I hadn't before." On the ITV chat show, she also spoke about how she responded to the backlash. Chloe said: "I was constantly having to talk about his crazy decisions as if they were my own. "It was my calmness that saved me." is your go-to destination for the best celebrity news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.

I was paid two pints of cider to model Genoa's new kit but they cut me from the promo after X-rated tattoo went viral
GENOA CFC made waves on Wednesday when they launched their new St George's Cross themed away strip, but it was not the kit's bold design that stole the attention of football fans. Instead, a single small tattoo in the corner of one promotional image ignited a flood of social media commentary and jokes, forcing the club to delete their original post. 8 8 The tattoo, tucked away in the bottom right corner of the image on the model's quadricep, appeared to feature two men engaging in a sex act, and was swiftly noticed by X users before the viral post made its way to TikTok. The social media frenzy has arrived out of nowhere for the man behind the tattoo, East London-based hairdresser James Oxley, who had almost forgotten posing for a few snaps in the kit during a work break over two weeks ago. Oxley, 33, is still trying to wrap his head around the sudden flood of talk about his ink, which all began with him simply standing outside of his workplace in Shoreditch. He said: 'It is all so funny, I did not expect this to happen. 'I was standing outside my work having a coffee and a cigarette - I think the photographer must have spotted me in the street, I stand out because I am absolutely covered in tattoos. 'They came over and said 'we are going to shoot some stuff at the pub down the street, would you mind putting the shirt on and modelling for it?' 'They explained the story about where the St George's Cross comes from and the relationship between England and Genoa, and I went 'f**k it why not? I have got some free time and it will be a laugh.' The launch video focused on the historic ties between Genoa CFC and England, with the outfit originally being founded as a football and cricket club by English sailors in 1893. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 8 Alongside its spot on the city of Genoa's coat of arms, the St George's Cross also features on the Serie A club's badge. In the centre of the club crest is a Griffin, prompting the club to film on location at The Griffin pub in Shoreditch, where Oxley would pose for the now-infamous image. European giants release 'absolute worldie' third shirt but it leaves fans divided as others compare it to tennis kit Oxley continued: 'They were like 'we'll buy you a couple of pints as a thank you' because they wanted to get me having a pint in shot, but it's a shame, I didn't even get to keep the shirt! 'It was a really hot day, it was back during the heatwave, so I was actually quite thankful for a couple of pints of cider, but now I feel like I deserve a shirt I think,' he joked. Oxley is no stranger to the lights and cameras of professional photoshoots, but he is usually on the other side of the lens. The professional hair stylist and colourist has rubbed shoulders with some significant people in his work, recently styling for Nirvana and Foo Fighters star Dave Grohl's wife, Jordyn Blum, ahead of their visit to Wimbledon last month. But on Thursday the Leeds native found himself thrust into the limelight, as a sudden burst of phone notifications flooded in asking about the shoot, which by that point felt a distant memory. He said: 'I completely forgot about it to be honest, and then a few friends of mine started sending me things saying 'you are on this football shirt post.' 'There was an X account called The Shirt Union that posted it, and then another friend sent me a post from Facebook, and then all of a sudden in less than 24 hours loads of people started sending me TikToks and X posts about my tattoo. 'I have got a lot of poorly done and maybe not-safe-for-work tattoos, and I was like 's**t which one have they got in the shot?' 'Thank god they cropped the image, because I have got a picture of Marge Simpson with her boobs out on my shin, I was like 'oh god is it that one?'' 8 8 The social media storm really took off when football X account HLTCO re-posted the image with the caption 'interesting leg tattoo, that.' The re-post has over 117,000 likes since it was made on Thursday, almost 100 times more than the kit launch video itself. For a tat small enough to go unnoticed by a team of photographers and editors, it has caused big waves, and arguably overshadowed the entire launch campaign. It is just one of around 56 tattoos that Oxley - who moonlights as a music producer - has on his body, but he admits that even he may have slightly lost count. 'I did that tattoo myself,' Oxley explained. 'I have got tattoo machines at home so just to fill my legs up I do little bits and bobs. 'I did this one to myself when I was a lot younger, this is probably a 10-year-old tattoo or something like that. 'I have got loads of tattoos that mean stuff but at some point you kind of just go for funny stuff. 'You always want to do one that's better than the last, or for me, I always used to want to do one that was a little bit more outrageous than the last, or a little bit funnier than the last.' Outrageous is an apt way to refer to the tattoo and its public reception, but Oxley says he has been delighted to see the joy that the entire incident has brought to footy fans on social media. 'I love all the comments on X, the whole point of this tattoo was to have a laugh, and I am glad people are having a laugh with it. 'I absolutely love that everyone has found this so funny, there is so much happening in the world right now and I just feel like this has made a lot of people laugh so much. 8 'I think it's interesting because the whole point of the shoot was the links between Genoa and England, and it is funny how much British humour has really come out of this. 'This is the sort of humour I grew up with where you're ripping the p**s out of your mates and nothing is serious, and you just have a laugh about it. 'It is such a nice representation of the humour that we have here.' Oxley is still yet to hear from Genoa regarding the incident, and has no idea if they are enjoying the extra attention on their new kit - or if they are cursing themselves for not taking one more proper look at their promo images before hitting publish. One thing is for sure, Oxley and the British public are glad that they did not.

The Kingdom review – an intensely exciting and absorbing mob drama
There are fierce and overwhelmingly authentic performances here from first-timers in Julien Colonna's terrific mob drama. The setting is Corsica, around the 1990s, in the coastal region of Ajaccio, famously the home of Napoleon. Lesia (played by nonprofessional Ghjuvanna Benedetti) is a moody 15-year-old girl living with her aunt, hanging out with her friends and boisterous extended family of cousins. School is out for the summer and Lesia appears to be getting into a romance with a local boy. Maybe because of this, or due to other reasons, she is ordered to leave her aunt's house and go to the luxurious and fortified family compound of her widowed father. This is mob boss Pierre-Paul (superbly played by Saveriu Santucci), a heavy-set, slow-moving but intimidating patriarch who is perhaps displeased with her behaviour, but also gruffly tender and indulgent. Lesia soon senses that her dad and his consiglieri are discussing a recent attempted hit on his life, and the need for payback. At first, Lesia had been pining to go back home to her aunt, but soon she is thrilled to be an intimate witness, daughter and lieutenant to her father. Perhaps like Mary Corleone or Meadow Soprano, Lesia has an intense awareness of her own blueblood status and her father's importance in the world, as well as his importance to her personally. She has, of course, long forgotten about her crush on that callow boy: her father is the real man in her life. The performances of Benedetti and Santucci in the long and intimate dialogue scenes that Colonna gives them are really outstanding, as Pierre-Paul sadly explains the endless cycle of revenge that is now his life, and which began when he had to avenge his father's death more than three decades previously: 'A young man's anger … all human history is based on it.' We know what's coming, of course, but the film shows that something in its very inevitability is shocking. An intensely atmospheric, absorbing and exciting drama. The Kingdom is in UK and Irish cinemas from 8 August
