Although known for her princess style and love of sparkles, Paris Hilton says she’s a tomboy.

The socialite says that despite her glamorous, party-loving image, she has a secret active side and claims she is “totally different” away from the cameras.

“I still am a tomboy. I love to go fishing. I love sports. I used to play ice hockey. You know, I think people only see the glamour and the parties, but when I’m at home I’m completely different.”

Despite her comments, Paris’ mum Kathy says the star is a “hair fanatic” and only launched her range of hair extensions because she couldn’t bear being without her favorite luxuries on The Simple Life.

“She’s a hair fanatic. That’s why with The Simple Life she decided to do those hair extensions, because she went crazy thinking ‘I’m going to be without a blow-dryer for four weeks!’” Kathy said.

Paris’ latest products are The Celebrity Styler flat iron and Ultimate Brush, which her sister Nicky says would have been ideal for her to work on. She told People, “She’s always loved experimenting with different makeup and hairstyles, so I think this product is a lot of fun for her.”
