The big Scot, who walked the red carpet for his flick The Ugly Truth this week, also revealed how he and Jennifer Aniston are loving the press coverage of their "fling".

He laughed: "Everyone in Hollywood fancies me because I'm a manly man. Jen, Cameron Diaz, they all do... they love me. I mean, there aren't many real men in Hollywood, let's face it.

"No, I'm only joking, but it's so flattering that people could think that any of those girls would be interested in me.

"Jen and I love it when there's three rumours in a day. One day we were dating, we had split up and she was pregnant with John Mayer's baby!"

Gerry also revealed his rampant side, saying: "I fall in lust all the time. I just love women - everything about them!"
