(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jack Black has revealed he has a secret talent for painting.

The 41-year-old actor is one of the worlds best-loved comic actors, having made a name for himself in movies such as Shallow Hal, School of Rock, and this years comedy smash Gullivers Travels.

He is also an established musician thanks to his work in satirical rock duo Tenacious D, although he says people dont know about his gift for paining.

Its all the same to me acting, music...Im gonna throw painting in there as well, he told Cover Media. I love it. Yeah thats right, all of the arts. Lots of people dont know about my painting - coming soon at a gallery near you.

Jack plays title character Lemuel Gulliver in Gullivers Travels, which was adapted from the novel of 18th century writer Jonathan Swift and tells the story of a man stranded on an island of little people.

As he does in many of his movies, Jack displays his singing and dancing skills in one memorable scene at the end of the film, and the star admits music has always been a massive part of his life.

Music and comedy have always gone hand in hand. I did a lot of musical theatre in my high school, he added. (C) Cover Media
