The 71-year-old 'Matilda' actor has admitted he enjoys nothing better than laying outside in the sun totally naked and regularly strips down to enjoy a few lengths in the swimming pool before stripping off to catch some rays.

Speaking about the last time he dropped his kit outside, he said: "I'm naked right now! No, it was about a week ago. I was enjoying the sun. I like to lie in the sun naked. I went swimming and laid in the sun."

Meanwhile, the Hollywood star - who has boasted a career at the helm of the film industry for over 40 years - has revealed he was first starstruck when he bumped into the late American actor Van Heflin whilst he was on a bike ride.

He explained: "O was about nine. I was riding my bicycle - this was probably when I had one of my accidents - and I saw a guy called Van Heflin. He was a star in old movies [including 'Shane' and 'Johnny Eager'].

"He rented a house down the shore in Jersey and we would go drive on his lawn and wave at him."

And DeVito has revealed he counts the 1951 film 'Miracle of Milan' as his all time favourite film, which he has watched too many times to remember.

Speaking about his favourite film to Empire magazine, he said: "'Miracle of Milan'. It's a Vittorio De Sica movie and I've seen it so many times I can't even count."
