Gordon Ramsay has highlighted how he struggles to manage the "nonstop attention" that stardom brings.
The celebrity chef stated that he is always recognized wherever he travels, but that being famous in America is tougher because his distinguishing feature is his British accent.
He told The Times newspaper, "Fame attracts constant attention. I'm well-known all throughout the world, but America is a different story. I can wear a hat and dark glasses in the UK, but the second you open your lips, people recognize your accent and you're screwed."
The Kitchen Nightmares actor went on to say that he has learnt to ignore his critics and would always support his crew.
Gordon stated, "I don't give a f**k what the critics say." I've received more criticism than any other chef on the globe, and my skin has turned rhinoceros-like."
"But I'll always protect my team if they've been harmed by a flippant remark or nasty statement. You have to bat for your team, correct? He added.
This comment follows Gordon's admission that he has dined at his restaurant twice because it is "too posh" for him.
On The Savory Originals podcast, the chef, who has 17 Michelin stars in his career, said, "There's a very fine line between running it and indulging in it." In 25 years, I've only had supper at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay twice.
"Once was for [daughter] Megan's birthday, and the second time was with Bradley Cooper when we were together for the film 'Burnt'," disclosed the actor.
Gordon remarked, "It isn't my style. It is too nice for me. Doesn't it sound weird? You constructed the place, and it says, 'I'm not built that way. I can't sit at that level.
"It's bloody intimidating and it's a very special moment for the guests, not for me, because I'm a giver - I'm not a receiver," said the comedian.
