British actress Billie Piper plays a prostitute in TV series ‘Secret Diary of a Call Girl’, and jokes that some of her neighbours might not understand the difference between her real life and her role. The 28-year-old is married to actor Laurence Fox, who stars in a detective series, ‘Lewis’, and believes she gets the cold shoulder sometimes. “Laurence is the hero,” she says. “He’s so famous in our village and his fan club is considerably older. They adore him and see me as his tainted, mucky wife.” “Honestly, they’re not big on me. I think they see him as muddying himself with ‘that filth’,” she continues. “It can get quite cold. The looks I get off some of the older guys in the street. Some of them like to think you’re a prostitute for real. No, I’m an actress playing a prostitute.”
