Zach Braff doesn’t want a famous girlfriend, hitting back at claims he was once dating Taylor Swift. The 39-year old told radio host Howard Stern that rumours he had once dated Taylor Swift were lies: "I've met Taylor a few times and she's a sweet girl...but that was all Internet bulls—t. "They [the tabloids] said I was dating her, I met her twice, she's a cool girl, but I was not dating her." The actor continued to tell the presenter how he doesn’t want to date “the super-famous girls”: "Remember I did that once before when I dated Mandy Moore, and I didn't like it. "Well, when you date another famous person that's when they really hound you. That's when the paparazzi are outside your house and that's when you can't ride your bike through Manhattan because they follow you." The Scrubs star revealed he was given some serious advice by his publicist who warned him how to keep his personal life out of the media spotlight: "When my relationship with Mandy ended, she [my publicist] said, 'I'm going to give you a hint that you should know. If you don't date these 25 girls, your life will be so much easier.' And she was kind of exaggerating because there's more than those 25 girls, but in so many words, if you can, don't date other famous people because then all the tabloids pretty much leave you alone." "I could walk down the street, I don't get followed. "Well, if you're going to hook up with a famous girl, that might be fun for your ego, but you don't want to be out in public dating a famous girl because then they follow you everywhere you go."
