Sam Claflin thinks it's become "impossible" for celebrities to escape the attention of fans. The 36-year-old actor believes social media has made it much more difficult for celebrities to fly under the radar.

Sam - who has starred in films such as 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides' and 'Enola Holmes' - told Sky News' 'Backstage' podcast: "You're seen everywhere - everything you say is immediately broadcast and tweeted and tik-toked and becomes a meme and a gif.

Or a jif - is it a gif or a jif? "I think it's impossible to do anything without being seen now, I think there's definitely with that positives, but there's obviously huge negatives. " Despite this, Sam feels he's been able to live his life in a relatively normal way.

The actor - who has Pip, seven, and Margot, five, with his ex-wife Laura Haddock - said: "I only speak for myself and I don't know that I live out in the public eye enough to really warrant much interest in my private life, but I feel like I'm very fortunate that I get to live my life, my private life, very privately - I have my kids and live my life with my family and no one really knows what we look like. " Meanwhile, Sam recently confessed to being "obsessed" with David Beckham as a kid.
