He told the Press Association: “We had that conversation earlier today, when I told her (Hayek) she is one of maybe five women I have kissed in my cinematic history.

Hayek, 50, added: “I feel bad, because he’s such a good kisser. I feel bad for the rest of the actresses that have been missing out.

“I feel bad but I feel honoured at the same time.

“In contrast I have kissed almost every actor I have ever worked with and I’ve done I don’t know how many movies.

Their on-screen romance has prompted Jackson to contemplate a new era in his working life, which started in 1972 with a role in the film Together For Days.

He said: “I’m going to start a whole new section of my career.
