Paris Hilton’s new boyfriend Alex Väggö has said he loves being around the heiress because she’s so focused and intelligent.

Swedish Alex is currently on an extended holiday in Los Angeles, with the hope of becoming a model, and the couple were introduced by a mutual friend earlier this month.

Alex is quoted in the Sun as saying: “I had a totally different picture of her before that. I was impressed she was so focused. I love to be in her company.”

He added that he’s already met her family and despite their wealth, they’re “kind, normal and ordinary”.
