"We have a good friend called Jamie Oliver who we play poker with, so he comes over and teaches us how to cook something, then we go away and have a go," the 42-year-old revealed.
Meanwhile, US film star Edward Norton has also been discussing his enthusiasm for poker.
The Fight Club and American History X star recently told the New York Daily News that he frequently beats fellow actor Woody Harrelson at the card game, although Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire is supposed to be a more formidable opponent.
"I hear Tobey is so good - almost pro-level - so that's a little intimidating," Norton said.
