He is known for being one of Hollywood’s biggest lotharios and was at the centre of the scandal at this year’s Oscars but Warren Beatty seemed happy to chat about all his woes when he appeared on UK chat show, Graham Norton.
Speaking about the mishap which saw La La Land wrongly announced as the best picture Beatty said I guess you could say it was chaos.’ When Graham asked if the mix up was the talk of the evening back stage Warren replied saying ‘No, that’s not true. People talk about themselves!’
Norton also seized the opportunity to question him about his sexual past, including asking the actor if he and Jack Nicholson had a secret tunnel to the Playboy Mansion. Beatty denied the claim. ‘No, it’s not true. To build a tunnel from Jack’s place all the way to Hefner’s would have cost a billion dollars!’ However, he didn’t deny the claim that he has slept with over 13,000 women over the decades.
Beatty has dated several high-profile women including Madonna and Joan Collins before he married Annette Benning back in 1992. The couple have four children together which he claimed is the reason for his on-screen absence over the past several years. ‘We have four kids who are all more interesting to me than any 50 movies, but now we are approaching the empty nest period I’m maybe going to make some movies.’
