Meg’s happy to be less famous

Sleepless in Seattle star Meg Ryan is more than happy about being “less famous”. Meg believes her affair with Hollywood tough guy Russell Crowe in 2000 — which ended her nine-year marriage to Dennis Quaid — actually reduced her profile. She said, “I think it’s great being less famous. I blame it on my meeting Russell Crowe. I had never seen or heard such bad press about me and it’s been great in a funny kind of way. It was a good thing because I now realise the world does not revolve around me.” Earlier this month, Meg revealed she found it incredibly difficult to have a successful career and a relationship. She said, “It’s very difficult to be a career person and have a relationship. I didn’t succeed at doing it at all. It’s incredibly hard. I think you have to figure out some way of balancing all those capabilities and requirements in your life.”
