Quentin Tarantino has revealed who he thinks is the worst actor in Hollywood as he savaged them for being 'weak and uninteresting'.

He appeared on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast and listed his twenty favourite movies. He said he wanted to include period drama There Will Be Blood higher in the list than number five but he couldn't as it stars Paul Dano as twins Paul and Eli Sunday.

Quentin compared Paul's performance to Daniel Day-Lewis's and called the actor a 'weak sauce'. He said on the podcast: 'There Will Be Blood would stand a good chance at being no. 1 or 2 if it didn't have a big, giant flaw in it… and the flaw is Paul Dano.'

His savage comments have sparked backlash online as one Reddit user branded him 'classless'.

During the chat, he named his top ten movies of the 21st century, with a war film leading the list. He named Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down (2001) as the best film of the current century. Tarantino's best movie list also surprisingly included Lee Unkrich's Toy Story 3 in second place.

At number three was Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, followed by another war film, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. He named Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood in fifth place, followed by David Fincher's Zodiac, and Tony Scott's Unstoppable.

The last three films on his list were George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road at number eight, Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead, and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris in the last spot.
