Drew Barrymore hates being called a celebrity

London: If there’s anything that tips off Drew Barrymore, well, it’s being called a celebrity.

The ET actress, who has spent her whole life in the public eye, revealed her scorn for the word, dubbing it reductive. "Celebrity! It`s become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach,” a news daily quoted her as saying. The Charlie’s Angels star continued: "When I started out I was an actor. And now when someone calls me a celebrity, I want to shoot them. I want to go, thank you for reducing me – I`ve worked for 35 years, I`ve killed myself to be established as someone who is responsible, reliable and accountable in my field of work, yet you`re calling me a name of someone who basically got famous for no reason." She added, "It`s like the worst name on the planet. I hate it. And people say it all the time: `You`re a celebrity.` No, I`m an actor. I`m a producer. I`m a director. I`m a toad. I`m roadkill. I`m anything but a celebrity." ANI
