London:
Hollywood actress Charlize Theron says being famous is like being part of a "freak show " and stars' privacy is being respected less and less.
The Snow White actress said the attention stars now receive from the paparazzi and the public is beyond anything she had ever imagined, reported Contactmusic.
"Fame has become a freak show. It drives me insane. There are certain places that you just can't go. I'm OK with that, but it's the things you can't avoid like when you're going home. That's not even sacred any more," Theron said.
Despite the circus that surrounds Hollywood, the actress tries to retain some sense of perspective on her career and life.
"You can't take this industry too seriously. We want to believe we're curing cancer, but we really aren't," she added.
