Matthew McConaughey sometimes has to stop eating - because he claims to get too sexually aroused by the food.

The actor has confessed he gets such a thrill out of meals - because taste is his most heightened sense - he chooses to go hungry rather than get turned on.

He admitted to Britain's InStyle magazine: "I think food is really sexy.

"Sometimes, if I taste something I really love, I get such tingles down my spine that I have to stop and take a break."

The star also revealed he loves the smell of sun tan lotion - because it conjures up images of women in skimpy swimwear.

When asked what's sexiest against the skin, he replied: "1992 Coppertone sun oil. It smells like coconuts - and they remind me of bikinis."
