Paul Rudd has heaped praise on his How Do You Know co-star Jack Nicholson describing him as oozing confidence.

The pair star together in the new comedy, which also stars Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson and Rudd had nothing but good things to say about his co-star.

Speaking to ShortList the actor said: "[Nicholson] is absolutely the most confident, most charismatic, biggest thing to walk in the room, and he has been for most of his life.

"He oozes confidence, he's cool, he's striking. Women get a little weak-kneed around him."

How Do You Know is the first movie of the year for the actor and he explains why he took on the role of George.

"I think he [George] is an ethical guy," he added. "One of the things I loved about him was the things James Brooks (the film's writer/director) wrote for me to say.

“Nobody talks like that. It's a kind of heightened Forties speak."

How Do You Know is out now.
