Gwyneth Paltrow has sparked a backlash in her native US by branding her fellow Americans uncivilised and boring.
The Shakespeare In Love Oscar-winner said people in her adopted country were far more interesting.
The 34-year-old, who lives in London with musician husband Chris Martin, was quoted as saying: "I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology."
She told Portuguese newspaper Diario De Noticias: "The British are much more intelligent and civilised than the Americans.
"I love the English lifestyle. It's not as capitalistic as America. People talk about interesting things at dinner - not about work and money."
The Californian-born star's comments sparked anger in the US, with radio and TV shows bombarded by furious callers, according to the Daily Mirror.
One caller said: "She sounds like she thinks she's better than us. She should stay across the Atlantic. We don't need her."
Another said: "If she feels that way we are much better off without her."
In the interview, Paltrow also claimed that having Madonna as a neighbour was another advantage of living in London.
She said of the singer: "Madonna's like an older sister. Everything I've gone through, she had 10 times worse and 10 times longer.
"She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself."
Awwwww shocks! :giggling:
