Life not changed for Juno star

8 September 2008 11:15am

The huge success of Juno and Superbad may have turned Michael Cera from a geek into a heartthrob, but the 20-year-old admits he doesn't see himself that way.

The Canadian actor, who's now one of the most sought after young stars in Hollywood, arrived to a pack of screaming fans at the world premiere of his new film Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist at the Toronto International Film Festival.

But he said modestly: "A lot of them are from my family actually. They're on that side of the rope, just over there waving."

And he says that things haven't changed much since Juno, which earned four Oscar nominations and won Diablo Cody an award for best original screenplay.

"I get recognised a bit more, and that's kind of the only difference," Michael admitted.

"Same friends, same family, same clothes, same car, same house. People just, you know, people feel like they know you. I just like hanging out with friends. I don't feel pressured and I don't think about my career."
