Blair told to 'take an acid trip'

Selma Blair has revealed that her Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro recommended that she "take an acid trip".

Blair claimed that del Toro advised her to take the hallucinogenic drug because it would help her overcome her doubts and insecurities.

The actress told Arena: "You know what Guillermo thinks? That I should go to Amsterdam and take an acid trip and it would fix my head. I think he could be right, you know."

Blair confessed that she had yet to experiment with LSD but would be willing to in the future.

She explained: "If I was in the right frame of mind, in a pleasant, creative, chilled-out space, with just the right amount delivered by an Amsterdam technician that would be incredible."

Hellboy II: The Golden Army is released in UK cinemas on August 20.
