Jack Black: 'Heaviness helps me'

Jack Black has claimed that he has his size to thank for his "sex appeal".

The actor and comedian revealed that he receives attention from women because they believe he will not be difficult to seduce.

Black, who is awaiting the arrival of his second child with Tanya Haden, also said that his sense of humour makes him attractive to the opposite sex.

"I think heaviness helps me. It keeps the wrinkles from getting wrinkly. It puffs them out," Jack is quoted by the Daily Record as saying. "I think my sex appeal is all down to the fact I am perceived as gettable, whereas with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt you haven't got a prayer.

"Also, it wouldn't just be dinner and a movie. A little humour goes a long way. People say it's the No.1 aphrodisiac, so I must be very sexy."

Jack recently made headlines after he let slip that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting twins.
