Jack Nicholson has claimed that he takes Viagra to maintain his stamina during threesomes.

The 70-year-old said he needs a helping hand when he has more than one woman in his bed.

He told The Guardian: "I like to date a nice range of women each year, but I only use Viagra when I am with more than one."

Nicholson has made no secret of his love for the drug and once admitted urging girlfriends to buy it for him because he is too embarrassed.

The actor - who has five children with four different partners and claims to have bedded more than 2,000 women - added that his life had been "one long sexual fantasy".

He also revealed he is thinking about writing his autobiography, saying: "Sometimes I think to myself, 'Well, Jack, you have met a lot of people over the years, there might just be some interest out there in you recalling some of them.'

"But it would be a bit like taking a picture of the Grand Canyon, it would get in the way of being there."
