Charlize travels with own 'bed'

Charlize Theron sleeps in a pashmina everywhere she travels because she's terrified of bedding down in dirty sheets.

The actress insists she loves to travel and experience the real world away from five-star hotels, but she refuses to sleep anywhere grubby.

The Oscar winner explains: "I am spoilt. I get to stay in nice hotels. So when I have time to myself, I like to get down and dirty.

"But I won't sleep on dirty sheets.

"I take a pashmina with me to sleep on. I'd rather sleep in dirt than sleep in dirty sheets, because little things live there." - Wenn
