Catapulted to mega-stardom after her 1989 hit When Harry Met Sally, Ryan was considered America’s sweetheart until eight years ago when she had a fling with Russell Crowe during the filming of their flop Proof Of Life.

It ended her marriage to Dennis Quaid and her time as a top leading lady.

“I think it’s great being less famous,” trout-pouted Meg, 46, claims.

“I blame the fact that I had, shall we say, a meeting with Russell Crowe. I had never seen or heard such bad comments about me.

“It’s been great in a funny kind of way and a good thing, too, because I now realise the world does not revolve around me.”
