Director Kevin Smith has revealed that he accidentally broke a toilet because of his excessive weight.

Writing on his blog, he said: "I'm really, really fat right now. Fattest I've ever been."

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times about his weight, he commented: "I broke a toilet. That's how heavy I am.

"I can't take all the credit - that was an old toilet and a very waterlogged wall - but my size took that toilet down.

"I cannot cognitively reframe it and be like, 'It wasn't me - it was the toilet'. It was definitely me. And that's a wake-up call."

Smith admitted that he is planning to start a health regime after he finishes promoting new movie Zack and Miri Make A Porno.

"I'm going away for a while to concentrate on myself. To save my life," he said.
