Hoskins reads film scripts on toilet

Rex Features

Movie star Bob Hoskins has revealed that he has a "cold bum" test for movie scripts.

The British actor told OK! that he decides whether or not a film is worth doing while he sits on the toilet.

"I take [the script] to the khazi in the morning and if I end up with a cold a**e I think 'This has got to be a good script'," he said.

"If you notice you've got pins and needles, you think 'This must be a good one'."

Hoskins, 65, said he has named the procedure the "cold bum test".
