Teenage Enrique Iglesias was unpopular among girls - MSN India

London, Jul 17 (PTI) Spanish pop star Enrique Iglesias says that he was not popular with girls as a teenager but that changed once he found fame.

The 36-year-old singer who has been in a relationship with former tennis player Anna Kournikova for almost 10 years now, didn''t have much luck with the opposite sex when he was growing up, but as soon as got famous lots of ladies were interested in dating him, reported Femalefirst online.

"I was the king of heartbroken as a teenager. I was never the heartbreaker. Years later, lots of the girls that rejected me came back just because I was famous. It is actually kind of sad," said the ''Hero'' hitmaker.

Iglesias also said that it isn''t difficult to attract women when you become a celebrity, and thinks lots of girls are interested in having "fun" with a famous guy.

"If you become a famous singer or actor, or just famous, period, that helps a lot. Girls don''t necessarily want to marry a famous person but I think they like the thought of having fun with them," he added.
