Paris Hilton Admits Airhead Image Is All An Act

Paris Hilton has admitted she plays up to her image as an airhead because she thinks it's funny.

The hotel heiress insisted that she was a completely different person out of the media spotlight.

“I would do the baby voice and it's kind of like this character I made up, but in real life I'm completely different, I'm very down to earth, I'm smart, I know what's going on',” Hilton said.

"It's kind of like I almost play to the image and kind of have a laugh at myself about it."

Hilton added: ''I think a lot of people will assume that I'm just like an airhead.

“But in my everyday life, when I'm hanging out with my friends or if I'm in a business meeting I'll talk in my normal voice.''

Hilton's made the revelation about her real-life persona during a TV documentary with TV presenter Fearne Cotton.

The programme, Fearne and...Paris Hilton, lifted the lid on Hilton's private life, including her lavish Hollywood home.
