Robin Williams has declared that he is fascinated by his iPhone.
The Happy Feet Two actor said that he loves playing around with the Siri application, which uses language processing to answer questions and make recommendations.
Williams joked to The AP: "I'm fascinated by the new iPhone. I bought it and kept trying to use it in France. 'Siri, what is a good restaurant?' 'I'm sorry, Robin. I can't give locations in France'. 'Why, Siri?' 'I don't know'.
"It's like she was upset with the French or something. 'They seem to have an attitude I can't understand. Should I look for Germans, Robin?'"
Williams went on to say that he's learned to enjoy the simple pleasures of life since his 2009 heart surgery.
"I learned to appreciate the idea of just taking it a little bit easier. You just have to be a little more present," the star said.
"It's really wonderful. It makes you appreciate everything - like breath, and friends and family. Taking it down just a little bit and travelling at the speed of life is a much easier journey."
Williams tied the knot with his third wife Susan Schneider in Napa Valley, CA in October.
Happy Feet Two is now playing in US cinemas and opens in the UK on December 2.
