Welsh-born actor Iaon Gruffudd says Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are bad role models for young girls.

He says the two are wrong because they flaunt their bodies and boast about their sexual exploits.

According to Contactmusic.com, he said: "I look at girls like Britney and Paris and think they have a responsibility to be role models to their young fans, but, instead, it's all just about sex and selling their bodies.

"Personally, I enjoy the elegance and mystery of a woman."
