Child star Jonathan Lipnicki has no intention of becoming a teenage heart-throb - because it's an awful life.

Ten-year-old Lipnicki, who stole the limelight from Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire (1996), has already started to experience the pressures of fame.

He says, "People used to be really wild. They would follow me around. They thought I had a cell phone in my backpack and stuff. And I was in kindergarten." And the tiny actor doesn't envy stars with heart-throb status.

He adds, "I've heard when girls meet *NSync and the Backstreet Boys they throw up on them and faint. I wouldn't want to get thrown up on."
