Actor Zach Braff does not want to date anyone famous because it attracts unnecessary papparazi attention.

Braff hates the attention he gets from the papparazi when he is dating someone high profile, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I don't want to date the super famous girls. Remember I did that once before when I dated Mandy Moore, and I didn't like it.

"When you date another famous person that's when they (papparazi) really hound you. That's when the paparazzi are outside your house and that's when you can't ride your bike through Manhattan because they follow you," he said in a radio show.

Braff, who recently ended his relationship with Taylor Bagley in April, has remained friends with her. It is said the two split up as Braff was not yet ready to settle down.
