Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about being one of the world's least popular celebrities.

The 43-year-old actress said she couldn't understand why she was labeled 'most hated celebrity' by a magazine in 2013 but can see why she might come off as pretentious and privileged.

'First of all, I was like, "I'm the most hated celebrity? More than, like, Chris Brown?" What did I do?' she told host Stephen Sackur at BBC News' HardTalk last week.

'I see where you are coming from, but maybe you just make people feel bad sometimes' Sackur added.

While Gwyneth came first, Brown came in at number 20 in Star magazine's 2013 list of most hated celebrities. 

Brown, 27, is well known for being convicted assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 as well as numerous brushes with the law, jail time and stints in rehab.

'All I can do is be my authentic self, and if you know me, then you know who I am, and that I have fun and eat and am so appreciative for my life. But I think there are things about me that make people draw conclusions.'

Gwyneth added that she understands that her background, in particular being the daughter of actress Blythe Danner, can rub people up the wrong way. 

'That inspires a lot of resentment,' she said.

But she insists she worked hard to get where she is today. 

'My parents [director Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner] did well, and I was able to go to a fantastic school, and we grew up in New York City, but the minute I left my college to try to pursue acting, my father was really supportive. But he said, you know, "You are completely on your own."

'So, he never gave me anything. I never had any supplementation, he never helped me with my rent, I never had a trust fund. So the idea that I am spoiled or that I didn't work for what I have is just not accurate, but I can see how somebody might have that perception.'   

The Goop founder also addressed misconceptions concerning her diet.

It's not all 'seaweed and a bit of air,' she told Sackur. 

'I have never had a horrible experience with French fries. French fries are my life!' she insisted.
