Sandra Bullock has admitted that she can be an annoying person but insists that it's simply her drive that causes all the problems – well, that and the fact that she's "half-German" – again, her words.

The actress spoke to Parade, saying: "Listen, I know I'm not easy to deal with. I'm controlling, and I want everything orderly, and I need lists.

"My mind goes a mile a minute. I'm difficult on every single level. I'm aware that I can be annoying."

And if that isn't enough to put movie bosses off, Sandra is keen to show that she's really not joking about just how annoying she really is.

She added: "I like to iron. Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place. I am a big ball of high energy and organisation and structure. Don't forget, I'm half-German.

"I never did anything according to what anyone else wanted. That's why I think I am happy. I do everything 100% - even my stupidest missteps. I know when I'm getting ready to mess up, I'm going to do it full-on."

Sandra may be tough to deal with but her demands are simple – a big pile of ironing to do and a list to go with it.

Ironing may not be everyone's favourite activity, but then Sandra's not the only star with an unusual celebrity hobby...
