Zoe labelled a lesbian as child!!!

ZOE SALDANA is not bothered by gay rumours because she's been labelled a lesbian since she was a child.

And unkind adults even told her grandmother of their suspicions.

The Avatar star, who is in a long-term relationship with actor KEITH BRITTON, says she is not shocked when people assume she is gay because she has a "masculine energy."

"If you want to punish me, send me to get a manicure or dress me in a skirt or shorts, and I would die," she told Siempre Mujer magazine.

"But if you dress me in jeans and a button-down blouse, I feel very sexy, feminine and powerful.

"People have sometimes told my grandmother, 'Your granddaughter has a bit of lesbianism in her.'

"It's that my sisters and I spent all our time among men (growing up).

"We were very popular with them. Our way of thinking is very masculine."

The stunning actress looks far from manly to us.
