Diane Kruger never recognised

Diane Kruger rarely gets recognised.

The 'Unknown' actress - who has been in a relationship with actor Joshua Jackson for four years - prefers to dress down when she isn't working, and so people never realise she is a famous movie star.

She said: "Do I get recognised? Not really because I'm not usually made-up.

"My house in Paris is next door to a university and people think I work there. They constantly ask me directions, 'Where's room 405?' And I'm like, 'I really don't know!' "

The 34-year-old former model also admitted she doesn't think looks are important in Hollywood.

She explained to Stylist magazine: "I think I learned very quickly that it doesn't really matter what you look like. Obviously it's Hollywood and you get your foot in if you look a certain way, let's not kid ourselves, but there are a lot of beautiful people in the world."The German star went on to say that an actor's success comes not from how they look but what they bring to the screen - and that the "most beautiful" people are those who portray their roles most convincingly.

She said: "It's about the journey and the emotional intensity you bring to the screen or the part that makes a character alive. Even if you're the most unattractive, by giving a performance that is emotional you become, on screen, literally the most beautiful person."
