Ray Winstone had a "wild" night out with Sean Penn.
The 57-year-old actor enjoyed working with the 54-year-old hunk in the upcoming thriller 'The Gunman', but he admits that wasn't the first time they had met as they'd hit it off 10 years ago on a boozy night out.
Speaking to Loaded magazine, he said: "I met Sean probably for the first time 10 years ago and had a night out with him, one of the wild ones. And we had a terrific night together. We had a drink, you know - we were out. He drinks like an Irishman or an Englishman - he knows how to have a booze, you know."
However, the veteran actor insists his partying days are well and truly behind him.
He explained: "You go to work and you go home and every now and then you'll have a beer.
"When I worked with [Sean] on 'The Gunman', you know, we'd have a quick beer or something, but most of the time he was on set all day long, every day, and he was training, keeping himself in shape - he looks magnificent for his age."
Meanwhile, in a time when so many stars are finding themselves in rehab due to alcohol addiction, Ray believes it's crucial that actors and actresses stay sober because too much booze can lead to "career suicide."
He added: "When you're in work mode, you don't [drink alcohol]. Maybe when you were 25 you could do that, but it's career suicide if you start on the booze and you can't do your job properly."

Javier Bardem has been forced to deny accusations he is anti-Semitic.
The 45-year-old actor was criticised after he, his wife Penelope Cruz, director Pedro Almodovar and a number of professionals from the Spanish film industry signed an open letter calling the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza "genocide" but Javier insisted he has "respect" for the people of Israel.
He said in a statement: "My signature was solely meant as a plea for peace. Destruction and hatred only generate more hatred and destruction."
Replying to accusations he is anti-Semitic, Javier said: "While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel and deep compassion for their losses. I am now being labeled by some as anti-Semitic, as is my wife - which is the antithesis of who we are as human beings. We detest anti-Semitism as much as we detest the horrible and painful consequences of war."
Javier then issued a plea for peace in Gaza.
He said: "I was raised to be against any act of violence, and the consequent suffering of humanity for it, regardless of religions, ethnicities and borders. Too many innocent Palestinian mothers have lost their children to this conflict. Too many innocent Israeli mothers share the same grief. There should not be any political reason that can justify such enormous pain on both sides. It's my hope that leaders involved in this complicated struggle will heed the call of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, 'In the name of humanity, the violence must stop.' "

PETA have slammed Kim Kardashian over her dolphin ride in Mexico.
The reality star has come under fire from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who called Kim "intrusive" and "dangerous" for swimming with dolphins at Vallarta Adventures in Puerto Vallarta.
Earlier this week (29.07.14) the mother of one posted a video on Instagram of herself and her jewellery designer friend, Kristen Gipson, taking part in a double dolphin ride. She captioned the film: "Double dolphin ride with @kristennoelgipson Thank you Vallarta Adventures for teaching us so much! Can't wait to show my daughter the pics of her swimming with dolphins & kissing a sea lion when she gets older! #ThanksForTheMemories #Mexico (sic)"
Now the Senior Vice President of PETA, Lisa Lange has criticised the star for supporting the "invasive" aquatic centre.
Speaking to RadarOnline.com Lisa said: "Kim is free to leave the pool, but for the dolphins, it's a lifetime sentence.
"Touch tanks and 'swim-with' programs allow the public to pet, kiss, or even 'ride' dolphins. Such programs invade the animals' already diminished worlds and are intrusive, dangerous, and stressful for the animals as well as for human participants."
It's not the first time the brunette beauty has been attacked by PETA. In 2012, the 33-year-old TV personality has a bag of flour thrown at her because she refused to stop wearing fur.
At the time Kim managed to find the situation funny as she joked: "That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weirdest thing that ever happened to me
"Like I said to my make-up artist, I wanted more powder and that's a whole lot of translucent powder right there."

Kerry Washington named her baby after her grandmother.
During an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Thursday (31.07.14), Kerry revealed to Jimmy that she had heard he and wife Molly McNearney named their daughter Jane after his grandmother and remarked "Mine is too," referring to her own daughter and granny, both called Isabelle.
Jimmy said: "Your baby's name is Isabelle and mine is Jane. We should swap them and see if our families notice!"
Kerry - who married Isabelle's father Nnamdi Asomugha earlier this year - also thanked the chat show host for sending her some of her favourite foods while she was pregnant.
She said: "You did something very kind last time I came [in February]. There's nothing more kind to do for a pregnant lady than [to give her] a box full of frozen deliciousness. It was amazing!"
And Kerry had high praise for President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, saying: "He and his amazing wife, they're just genuine, authentic, fantastic people who are trying to do their best for the country. They're awesome!"

Simon Cowell says Cheryl Cole is the happiest he's ever seen her.
The 54-year-old music mogul is currently filming the latest series of the UK 'X Factor' alongside the 'Crazy Stupid Love' hitmaker and says her recent surprise wedding to husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini is responsible for her happiness.
He tweeted: "Cheryl is the happiest I have ever seen her. Her new husband is a great guy. [sic]"
Cheryl - who wed in a secret ceremony last month, just three months after she and Jean-Bernard started dating - was famously booted off the American version of 'The X Factor' by Simon in 2011, but she insists the pair are good friends again.
Talking about their friendship, she told Greg James on BBC Radio 1: "[It's] good, like we've never been away, to be honest.
"I mean, obviously we don't agree on everything but that's how our relationship is."
The pair are joined on the judging panel by veteran Louis Walsh and ex-Spice Girl, Mel B, who has impressed Simon with her work ethic.
He tweeted: "Mel B is a total star. She flew in from New York last night.
"No sleep. And totally on it. She is a revelation. [sic]"

A bench in Kent, which is popular with drunk people, has been removed before Prince Harry visits the area.
The 29-year-old royal will travel to Folkestone on August 4 as the guest of honour for the First World War commemorations, and the Shepway District Council (SDC) has now taken away the wooden seat on the Road of Remembrance before he arrives.
An SDC spokesman told the Folkestone Herald newspaper: "At the request of the police, the bench was removed because of anti-social behaviour. We plan to re-site it in the autumn."
A spokesman for Kent Police said the removal took place because drunks were "abusive and intimidating" to people passing nearby.
They added: "ASB in this instance means groups of drunken people congregating around the chair, sitting there, getting drunk being abusive and intimidating to passers-by."
Harry will unveil a new memorial on August 4, exactly 100 years after the outbreak of The Great War.
He will travel to Belgium for a memorial service with his brother Prince William, 31, and sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge, 31.

Chloe Madeley wishes her famous parents wouldn't boast about their sex life.
The 27-year-old beauty - the daughter of former 'This Morning' hosts Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan - has responded to her dad's revelation that he and his spouse have a healthy appetite in the bedroom.
Chloe said: "Nobody wants to think about their parents having sex. Ever! But mine talk about it for the whole of Britain."
But the fitness trainer went on to defend her parents, adding: "Actually, good on them. As long as they're happy."
Chloe admits she struggled with her identity growing up as she felt like she was living in the shadow of Richard, 58, and Judy, 65.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I was struggling to make the transition from teenager to adult and unfortunately, the first thing I decided I wanted to do was be on television, which is very public. But my only identity was as my parents' daughter and so I was only being offered reality TV shows the majority of the time, which I didn't want.
"I wasn't getting taken seriously because of who my parents are. I felt like I didn't have anything to be proud of myself and that just made my anxiety worse."
Chloe credits her ex-boyfriend Danny Young with helping her overcome her issues by introducing her to fitness and exercise.
She enthused: "The anxiety and panic attacks have gone away and I think the exercise is a massive part of that."

Cheska Hull's boyfriend has no interest in appearing on 'Made in Chelsea'.
The reality TV star has been in a loving relationship off-screen with her beau for two years but he has no plans to appear on the E4 show with her.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the launch of new free-to-air channel truTV in east London yesterday (31.07.14), Cheska said: "He just doesn't want to do it and I respect him for that, and it's sometimes nice to go home to someone who isn't all about 'MIC' and I respect his decision. We're probably still together because he's not on it."
The blonde starlet admits it's difficult to balance her reality TV career and a relationship away from the cameras, but 'Made in Chelsea' producers respect her privacy.
She added: "It can be quite difficult sometimes. We've been together two years now so he's used to it, I'm used to it. The show respects me and knows I'm very much in love, they never get in the way of things."
Cheska has been part of the core cast of the BAFTA-winning show since it started in 2011 and has no plans to quit.
She enthused: "I'm very loyal to the show. I love doing it. I'm doing Series 8, which has been great fun, and I plan to do the show for as long as I can.
"Obviously, I run my own company and I work very, very hard on that. I have a boyfriend that's not on the show. But it's been four years now on 'Made in Chelsea' and I'll always keep doing it."

EastEnders' Tanya Franks says Rainie Cross is "misunderstood".
The drug-addled prostitute recently made a shock return to Walford, blackmailing Ian Beale for money to keep quiet about his antics on the night of daughter Lucy Beale's death, but Tanya doesn't think her soap alter-ego is all bad and enjoys playing a challenging character.
She said: "I think she's just misunderstood. It's fascinating for me, she's such a challenge, she's such an extreme to what I am as a human being."
Unlike her character, who has battled alcoholism, Tanya isn't a big drinker so she's had to base her performance on observations in everyday life.
She told SoapSquawk.co.uk: "I have drunk in my life but I've never been a big drinker. I haven't drunk now for about seven years. A lot of the darker side of life that I play is through observation and research.
"When I first went into 'EastEnders' they had an ex-drug addict to help me go through a lot of the symptoms. It's stuff I had never experienced. I always learn something new from her."
Tanya - who first appeared on the BBC One soap in 2007 - hasn't ruled Rainie out in the murder of Lucy.
She added: "I guess it could be Rainie, somewhere down the line, but I don't know yet."

Foxes won't watch her appearance on 'Doctor Who' back when it airs.
The 25-year-old singer/songwriter avoids watching her performances as she prefers to move on and focus on the next performance instead of picking out things she may have done wrong.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I won't watch 'Doctor Who'. Well, I will because I'm a superfan, but I won't watch my episode. I like to do it and let go of it and not dwell."
Foxes - whose real name is Louisa Rose Allen - landed a role on the BBC One sci-fi show after heading over to a 'Doctor Who' conference while she was performing at a show in Liverpool.
She said: "Behind me a 'Doctor Who' conference was going on. I sort of went back and got talking to these guys and I just said how much I loved it.
"They watched my show and little did I know, they were producers. A couple of weeks later, they asked me to do a song for the show."
The eighth series of 'Doctor Who' is set to air on August 23 on BBC One.
Foxes has been busy gearing up to the release of her new single 'Glorious', which is out on August 10, and working as a partner of vitaminwater's shinebright studio. For more information visit www.shinebrightstudio.co.uk

The Killers' 'Human' has topped a poll to find the most baffling song lyrics.
According to music streaming service blinkbox Music, which polled 2,000 people in Britain, 30 per cent of people found the line "Are we human, or are we dancer?" completely puzzling.
Martin Cloonan, Professor of Popular Music Politics at Glasgow University, said: "Brandon Flowers of The Killers has admitted that the line is taken from a Hunter S. Thompson quote: 'We're raising a nation of dancers.' Flowers said: 'I say that it's a mild social statement, and that's all I'm gonna say.' "
The Beatles' "I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus," (27 per cent) from 'I am the Walrus' was in second place, with Michael Jackson's "What about elephants? Have we lost their trust?" (18%) from 'Earth Song' taking the third spot.
Professor Cloonan said of 'I Am The Walrus': "John Lennon spoke of writing some of this while on an acid trip, which might help explain things. It is an exercise in surrealism and word play - a true highlight of UK psychedelia. Lennon did once declare that 'The Walrus was Paul' but it appears to in fact be a reference to Lewis Carroll's 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' and so, a reference to surreal or imaginary worlds."
And speaking about Michael Jackson's 'Earth Song', he added: "Ultimately this is a misjudged protest song, which sees a world in which the innocent simply have things done to them by malevolent forces. It could be construed as an attack on the ivory trade."
Lionel Richie's 'All Night Long' (12 per cent) and Carly Rae Jepson's, 'Call Me Maybe' (11 per cent) complete the top five.
Rounding out the top 10 are Black Eyed Peas, 'Boom Boom Pow' (10 per cent), Duran Duran, 'The Reflex' (eight per cent), Wham!, 'Club Tropicana' - (eight per cent), Taylor Swift, 'Love Story' (seven per cent) and Oasis, 'Champagne Supernova' (seven per cent).

Lily Allen has compared Miley Cyrus' live performances to those of Oasis and The Stone Roses.
The 'Hard Out Here' singer has joined Miley on the latest leg of her 'Bangerz' US tour and after catching the show in London in May, Lily was blown away by Miley.
She told Billboard: "I saw it at The O2 in London, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's one of the best shows that I've seen in years. It's up there with an Oasis show or The Stone Roses or something. It's kind of incredible to watch - she's a real force. There's no two ways about it, she's meant to be up there doing that.
"She's incredible, and she has such a presence. Her personality is what shines through. I'm not close to Miley. I don't know her very well, but I feel proud of her."
Lily is a big fan of Miley and recently revealed plans to introduce daughters Ethel, two, and 18-month-old Marnie, to the 'Wrecking Ball' singer when her kids join her in the States.
Lily - who is married to Sam Cooper - said: "They are going to meet me in New York and then come on the bus with me and Miley.
"Although I don't think Miley will be on my bus, she's probably got other plans!"
