The notorious Hollywood lothario - whose conquests include Madonna, Julie Christie, Joan Collins, Faye Dunaway, Britt Ekland, Jane Fonda, Melanie Griffith, Daryl Hannah, Goldie Hawn, Bianca Jagger, Diane Keaton, Linda McCartney, Elle Macpherson, Diana Ross, Carly Simon and Barbra Streisand - used the term to explain a sexual climax to his youngest daughter, seven-year-old Ella.
Beatty's wife, Annette Benning, revealed her husband's unusual terminology to Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing, Kathy Griffin and Christy Scott Cashman on set of their new movie 'The Women', which they are currently filming in Boston.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Annette mentioned during rehearsal that her daughter Ella had asked what an orgasm is and Warren explained, 'It's a sexual sneeze.'
"Before he married Annette he must have been suffering from chronic hayfever!"
Beatty, 70, and Benning, 49, have three other children - Kathlyn, 15, Benjamin, 13, and Isabel, 11.
