Katie Homes, the wife of ?Mission Impossible? star Tom Cruise, has revealed in an interview with OK magazine that she was a geek at school.

The former ?Dawson?s Creek? actress claims that despite her calm and elegant exterior, she is just like everyone else in the world.

She said: “I can’t deny that I’m a nerd. I am who I am. I’m pretty normal, I’m not a smooth type of girl, I run into things, I trip, I spill food, I say stupid things - I really don’t have it all together. But I’m working on it - I really am.”

Katie also claimed that she was pretty rubbish at talking to boys when she was younger.

“In hindsight, I think going to an all-girls school meant we missed out socially. We came out of school and it was suddenly, ‘Oh my God! Boys!’ I was all about, ‘How do I look? What is he thinking?’ We weren’t used to being around boys in a normal setting and seeing them as friends.”
