London, Oct 23 Olivia Newton-John has said that she feels sorry for Britney Spears being constantly in the limelight because the amount of press coverage received by stars nowadays is unprecedented.

The 61-year-old actress was propelled to stardom after her turn in 1978 movie Grease and graced the covers of magazines worldwide.

And Newton-John is grateful that she refused to take her pin-up status seriously at the time, and claims the decision kept her grounded.

But she pities Spears, who found fame as a teenager in the late 1990s.

"The poor girl. She has lived in a time where the paparazzi reign and we didn't have that problem at all. We'd have occasional intrusion, you know I had a few incidents, but it was nothing like it is now," The Daily Express quoted her as telling Britain's Attitude magazine.

"I don't think you realise it (early fame) until you look back because it doesn't really feel like reality in the time. I never really took it too seriously, which is healthy," she added. (ANI)
