The blonde beauty - who has been dating Irish actor Stuart Townsend for around six years - also took a swipe at Hollywood stars who put partying ahead of their careers.

She added to Britain's Elle magazine: 'I don't buy in to all that. Actually, it upsets me the way a lot of so-called celebrities just completely exploit themselves. I don't get it.

He was reacting to pain and rejection. He said it so much that he started to really believe it. That is what I've tried to do for myself."
