JEREMY PIVEN NO PIG

'Entourage' star Jeremy Piven's fans are disappointed he doesn't behave like a ''fire-breathing abusive narcissist pig'' and is just a normal guy.

Jeremy Piven's fans are disappointed he doesn't behave like a "fire-breathing abusive narcissist pig".

The 44-year-old actor - who plays foul-mouthed agent Ari Gold in US TV series 'Entourage' - says people expect him to speak and act like his obnoxious character.

The star explained: "People are disappointed I'm not going to yell and b***h and be a fire-breathing abusive narcissistic pig. I'm just a stage actor from Chicago."

Piven's latest role is in 'The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard', a film about used-car salesman who is called in to revive a failing automotive dealership.

But even though his role in 'Entourage' has won him thousands of fans in the US, he expects this movie to be more successful in Britain.

He said: "It offers real insight into the tragedies of the characters, and the whole phenomenon of jingoistic Americans butting into each other.

"Brits have a reference and a real appreciation for this kind of dark comedy. In the US, it's not as widespread."
