Thurman defends paparazzi

Actress Uma Thurman has stepped out in defence of the paparazzi, insisting celebrity photographers are "just doing their jobs".

The 38-year-old 'Kill Bill' star has been plagued by swarms of photographers since starting out as a fashion model at the age of 15.

She refuses to join the celebrity trend of bashing snappers however - even when they catch her in unflattering poses.

"They can definitely be annoying, but at the end of the day these photographers are just doing their jobs - one they probably never imagined they would have," she said.
