Carano enjoys being a celebrity

Female MMA star Gina Carano has admitted that she enjoys being a celebrity.

Carano will be fighting Cris Cyborg in the main event of Strikeforce’s MMA even on Saturday night.

Carano told MMA FanHouse: “I do. I think I’m probably the most average celebrity there is. I’m very approachable. Anybody can talk to me. I like being able to be real with people, talking to people and hopefully affecting their lives. That’s the coolest part of being a celebrity.

She added: “The demands of being out there. Some days I just don’t feel like talking to people and doing interviews. Some days I don’t feel like talking to anyone. And I think sometimes people see you as not a human, like you’re just an ideal or something.

“Sometimes I have a conversation with someone who doesn’t seem to realize that I’m just an ordinary person like they are.”
