Mischa Barton's Los Angeles boredom

Mischa Barton left Los Angeles because it "stopped being fun".

The former 'O.C.' star, who was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in West Hollywood last year, admits she stopped enjoying living the city so decided to move to Paris, France.

She said: "It simply stopped being fun in Los Angeles."

Mischa has also spoke about the photographs that appeared last month of her in a bikini with cellulite on her thighs.

The 22-year-old actress admits she was upset by the snaps but insists it is normal to have body imperfections.

She exclaimed: "Those pictures were retarded. Obviously it's embarrassing and it's un-cool but I just suck it up and live with it."

Mischa - who made her film debut in 'Notting Hill' aged just 12 - recently said her movie career has been an emotional roller coaster.

She said: "I've grown up so much as an actress. There's been times when I've thought, 'I don't want to be an actress forever,' and there are times when I feel I can't live without it because I love it so much. It's a wild ride."
