Paul Sculfor was scared by Jennifer Aniston's celebrity status

Lady Victoria Hervey, the former girlfriend of Jennifer Aniston's ex-boyfriend has said that Paul was overwhelmed by Jennifer's celebrity status.

British-born model Sculfor recently split from Aniston following a two-month fling; he struggled to cope with the attention surrounding their relationship, claims Hervey.

Hervey told British Hello! magazine: "He was given the keys to her house and at one point had to spend a week without leaving it as up to 50 paparazzi at a time were outside waiting to get a picture of the two of them together.

"We're good friends and I was one of the first people her told about Jennifer. He said she made him happy but he was having to keep under the radar. One minute he's living a normal life and the next he's over every magazine and television channel in America.

"He realized the pressure of fame - it's something you want until you actually get it."

Sculfor left Los Angeles and returned to London shortly after splitting from the former 'Friends' actress.

Hervey said: "He is enjoying having the pressure taken off him and spending time with his family".

Sculfor, who has modelled for a number of major fashion houses including Jean Paul Gautier and Christian Dior, has also dated George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Lisa Snowdon and All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis in the past.
