Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger loves it when people are rude to her because it makes her feel normal.

The Bridget Jones’s Diary star relishes the moments when she is snubbed by grumpy airline staff, because being treated like the rest of the passengers lets her forget that she is a famous movie star.

She says, "I know that sounds so crazy, but I really cherish it when someone is mean, because they’re just having a bad day and they don’t recognize that you know Tom Cruise, and so they don’t alter their behavior in any way. I love it. I love it when the stewardess is just nasty."

But Zellweger hates it when people suddenly realize who she is and start pretending to be nice - as it always seems so fake.

She adds, "I just cringe when she (the stewardess) comes back and apologizes because she didn’t realize."
