The actor loves expressing his creative side on canvass in his spare time and can`t wait to finish promoting his current movie, `Mr. Popper`s Penguins`, so he can get back to work on a special piece of art.

He said: "I paint a lot and this is a huge passion for me. So when I`m not acting, I wake up every morning, have my coffee and I pick up a paint brush.

"I have a studio in New York. I`ve leaked out a couple of little things here and there.

"I have a painting I`m doing. I can`t wait to get back because I have around five more days work on it. It`s 16ft tall and 12ft wide and it`s a black light painting. It`s viewable in the daylight, but when you turn the black lights on it lights up and people come out of the dark."

The 49-year-old star revealed one of his pieces of art can be seen in `Mr. Popper`s Penguins`.

He added in an interview with Britain`s OK! magazine: "One of my paintings is in the movie - it`s in my TV den."
