Warren Beatty and wife Annette Bening
Warren Beatty slept with 12,775 women over 35 years, according to a new book.
The Hollywood star - who married actress Annette Bening in March 1992 - reportedly averaged a different partner every day for the three-and-a-half decades he was single.
According to Peter Biskind, who has written a revealing biography on the legendary lothario entitled 'Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America', Warren lost his virginity at 20 and seduced thousands of ladies.
The author made his estimate based on "simple arithmetic". Biskind said: "There were 12,775 women, give or take - a figure that does not include daytime quickies, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on."
It is also claimed the 73-year-old actor - who has been romantically linked to Natalie Wood, Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Cher, Jackie Onassis, Isabelle Adjani and Madonna, among many others - proved too much for Joan Collins.
He wrote: "He made love to Joan Collins relentlessly. But for Collins it was too much of a good thing. One Sunday morning, exhausted, she stumbled out of bed.
"Dragging on a forbidden cigarette, she said, 'I don't think I can last much longer. He never stops - it must be all those vitamins. In a few years I'll be worn out.'"
Beatty, however, refuted the book’s claims through his attorney Bertram Fields.
Fields told Access Hollywood, an American entertainment television programme, that the book was unauthorised by Beatty.
He also said the claims are “absolute rubbish.”
“This is not an authorised biography and should not be sold as one. It contains statements that are not accurate. It's absolute rubbish.
“It quotes Warren as saying things he never said,” said Fields.
Famously a playboy, Beatty is one of the most successful stars in Hollywood. He is also a producer, screenwriter and director.
Among his blockbusters were Bonnie and Clyde, Shampoo, Heaven Can Wait, Bugsy and Bulworth.
His film Reds won him the best director in the Oscar awards.
His last film to date was Town and Country which he made in 2001.
After years of dating many famous women, Beatty married Annette Bening, his co-star in Bugsy, in 1992. They have four children, aged between 10 and 18.
