Actress Michelle Keegan says the one thing she does not like about being famous is that people treat her "differently" than others.
The 28-year-old former "Coronation Street" star said she understands being stared at in public because she is an actress but hates it when people assume she has changed because of fame, reported Female First.
"I don't mind when people stare or do a double take because I do it too - as long as people are polite. The only thing I don't like about being famous is when people start to treat you differently. People presume because you're in the public eye, you change," she said.
"I remember going to a pub near my old house in Manchester where I used to work as a barmaid before 'Corrie', My dad and grandad still go there and I grew up with a lot of the punters and used to serve them drinks - now they don't know what to say.
