Dustin Hoffman has vowed to stop picking his nose.

The Oscar-winning actor revealed his New Year's resolution is to give up the disgusting habit, because he keeps getting caught on camera doing it.

Speaking at the European premiere of his new movie 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium' in London's Leicester Square, he told BANG Showbiz: "Oh boy, my New Year's resolution? There are some that are hard to say in public, but I do have to stop picking my nose, especially in the car. I'll be driving and I will catch someone trying to take my picture."

Dustin - who plays the eccentric owner of a magical toyshop who leaves his strange business to his insecure manager played by Natalie Portman - also revealed he is a big kid at heart and still believes in magic.

After demonstrating his spit bubble blowing ability, he said: "I do still believe in magic, and there isn't anything more magical than being here right now. I never stopped believing in magic."

Dustin was joined on the red carpet by his 11-year-old co-star Zach Mills, who revealed the pair formed a band on set.

Zach - who plays Eric Applebaum, the Hat Collector in the Christmas movie - said: "Dustin would play the trombone while I would be playing the bongos and he would have jazz music playing. We kind of had our own band going. Natalie was too busy to join in with our band though."
