Dominic Cooper hates fancy dress parties.
The 'Need for Speed' actor favours casual clothes when he isn't working and hates socialising at parties where he has to dress up as a character because it reminds him too much of his work.
He said: "I love anything vintage, a good quality suit, scruffy jeans and my trusty leather army boots. I like being casual. As an actor, I'm in costume all the time. That's why fancy dress parties are my idea of hell."
The 35-year-old star is an avid follower of fashion and takes a particular interest in emerging designers.
He said: "I can't believe how easily fads come back into style, like skinny jeans. But I've always loved fashion.
"It influences generations and resonates with a moment in time. I love seeing what designers come up with, especially young designers. I think they're artists."
And Dominic can also remember splashing out on his first-ever new suit to mark his appearance in stage show 'The History Boys'.
He told Britain's InStyle magazine: "When I got paid for doing 'The History Boys' in New York, I bought a nice suit. No idea who by, but it was a big moment as, before that, I'd only worn hand-me-downs with baggy kneecaps. I certainly didn't have the money to buy suits when I was a teenager."

Lauren Conrad has regular date nights with her fiancé.
The former 'The Hills' star has been dating her beau William Tell for just over two years and she believes the key to a successful relationship is making time for each other.
She said: "It's just like any other couple with full-time jobs. You make date night and you have weekends, hopefully. Not [all] weekends, but some weekends. I'm really fortunate in that I get to do things that I love, so it doesn't feel like work. I think if you're doing something you love, it's not a lot. You're excited every day.
"We haven't been to a club together in a very, very long time, if ever," Conrad said. "We probably entertain more than we go out, to be honest. I love just having a couple of people over for dinner. It's easier for me. I don't have to wear shoes. Everybody's happy."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old star, who got engaged to William, 33, in October last year, previously said she wasn't in a rush to tie the knot, but admitted last month that she's chosen her wedding dress.
She said earlier this year: "You have the rest of your life to be married. Enjoy falling in love. When girls get caught up in the timeline, it becomes more about the wedding than the marriage. You should be with someone with whom you could elope this weekend and be happy."

Angie Everhart underwent surgery on her neck yesterday (11.03.14).
The former Sports Illustrated model - who has dated Sylvester Stallone in the past and was engaged to Joe Pesci - had to have an operation on a herniated disc after suffering from nerve pain.
She took to Twitter after the surgery, writing: "I'm out of surgery- it went well- had floating pieces of disc on my nerve. All gone! Staying in hospital another night for pain management (sic)."
However, earlier that day, the 44-year-old actress appeared to be fed up of visiting medical centres after being hospitalised earlier this month due to the trapped nerve.
She tweeted: "Sitting in the hospital waiting for my surgery. Oh boy. Too many surgeries lately. No fun. Feel like I was just here. (sic)".
It is believed the flame-haired beauty damaged her nerve after crossing her legs too long, according to the Express newspaper.
Meanwhile, Angie was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in May last year and had surgery shortly after.
A representative for Angie said at the time: "[Angie] wants to set the record straight by letting everyone know that it is true that she has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, however, the prognosis is very good."
Angie is now free from the condition and is on a mission to help raise awareness of thyroid cancer.

Aaron Paul admits being married to his wife is "incredible".
The 'Breaking Bad' star and his beau Lauren Parsekian tied the knot in a carnival-themed wedding in Malibu last May, after two years of dating, and he insists he loves her more and more every day.
He said: "I fall more in love with her every day. Being married to my wife is incredible."
The 34-year-old actor isn't afraid to tell the model how much he cares about her either because he believes it's important she knows how much he appreciates her.
He explained to People magazine: "I tell her every day that I love her. I've got to. If you marry someone, you have to let her know how much you care and I do that as often as I possibly can. She really is the best wife and she should know that."
Meanwhile, Aaron isn't just an affectionate husband as he also likes to help out around the house.
He said: "I like to clean the house. I pick up after myself and will vacuum. I do it all."

Elizabeth Olsen is engaged.
The 25-year-old actress and her boyfriend Boyd Holbrook are set to tie the knot after the 32-year-old star popped the question following two years of dating, according to Us Magazine.
A source said: "They've been by each other for a while, taking a lot of couple time."
The pair first met on the set of 'Very Good Girls' back in 2012 and have been inseparable ever since.
The loved-up duo took their relationship to the next level a few months back when they reportedly moved in together in Brooklyn, New York City.
The source explained: "They moved into a place in Brooklyn a few months ago."
Meanwhile, the Olsen family seem to be keen to head for the aisle as Elizabeth's older sister Mary-Kate, 27, also got engaged to her boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy, 44, just two weeks ago.
The fashionista is yet to confirm reports that the French banker proposed to her, but she has fuelled rumours recently by flaunting a diamond sparkler on her ring finger.
Mary-Kate and Olivier, who have been dating for two years, reside in New York, where they have a $6.25 million townhouse, but their union has caused some controversy due to their 17-year age gap.
Mary-Kate's twin sister Ashley is also dating an older man, with it recently confirmed she is seeing 47-year-old 'Moneyball' director Bennett Miller.

Beyoncé took her daughter to Dublin zoo yesterday (11.03.14).
The 'XO' hitmaker is currently in the Irish capital for her 'Mrs. Carter World Tour', but she took a break from her hectic schedule to spend the day looking at animals with two-year-old Blue Ivy.
The 32-year-old singer took to her Instagram account today (12.03.14) to post a picture of her cradling the toddler while they both gazed at a group of giraffes in the distance.
The blonde beauty attempted to keep a low profile by wrapping both her and Blue in woolly hats, but managed to draw attention to herself by wearing a black bomber jacket with 'Mrs. Carter World Tour' emblazoned across the back.
Beyoncé and Blue's trip to the zoo follows their outing to the local Phoenix Park the day before, where they spent half an hour in the playground with Jay Z.
The rapper, 44, and Beyoncé, along with their security team, then enjoyed dinner at fashionable eatery Coppinger Row.
It seems the pair have been enjoying the culinary delights of the city, as following the 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker's show on Sunday (09.03.14), the "extremely humble" couple dined at upmarket eatery Fade Street Social, which opened late just for them.
A representative said previously: "Usually the kitchen is closing around then but we held on for a few minutes to accommodate them. They were extremely nice and friendly and left very happy."

Mary-Louise Parker talks to her children about drugs "a lot".
The 49-year-old actress admits she has regular conversations with her son Billy, 10, and seven-year-old daughter Caroline about the dangers of dabbling with illegal substances.
She explained: "I'm very afraid of drugs and very afraid of what happens especially to people who have particular biochemistry that is susceptible to addiction, which runs in my family. So we talk about it. We talk about everything.
"I tell them, 'You will never get in trouble if you're drunk and you call me and ask me to pick you up at a friend's. You do not get grounded. But if you come home in a car with someone who's [drunk and] driving or if you drive drunk ...' "
The brunette beauty played Nancy Botwin, who grew and sold marijuana unapologetically, in the US TV series 'Weeds' until 2012, but she admits she's never been interested in drugs in real life.
She explained to People magazine: "I really hate drugs, and I was always the person where that was my thing: Mary-Louise doesn't do drugs."

Tom Arnold is in the "best shape" of his life.
The 55-year-old comedian has lost 100lbs, taking him from 287lbs to 187lbs, in just one year and he is now ready to celebrate after reaching his target weight.
His publicist told ABC news: "He's happily reached his 100lb weight-loss goal. He went from 287lbs to 187lbs and is in the best shape of his life."
Tom previously admitted his 11-month-old son Jax Copeland, whom he shares with his wife Ashley Groussman, 37, had encouraged him to lose the weight after years of fertility problems.
He said earlier this year: "Something inside of me changed. I knew I needed to live as long as I could. The moment I saw [Jax] I realised he deserves the best."
The 'Sons of Anarchy' star also admitted that he used to be embarrassed by his body and would get upset when his clothes were too tight for him.
He explained: "There was a lot of shame. One time I had a tailor come over and sew the weights into my suits - this is what you wear when you are 210, 220, 240, 300. That saved me the time of going into my closet and getting so upset and frustrated."

Ricky Gervais has joked he would send Justin Bieber to bed if he was his manager.
The 'Muppets Most Wanted' actor admits he wouldn't be very good at managing other people's careers because he's a "control freak", but he thinks the troubled pop star would benefit from staying away from the limelight for a bit following his recent run-ins with the law.
When asked if he would manage the 20-year-old singer's career, Ricky told E! News: "I have trouble managing my own [career]. I give myself terrible advice. I don't think I could manage anyone else because it'd be too frustrating. I'm a control freak, so I can make me do what I want but I couldn't make other people. I'd send him [Justin] to bed. I'd go, 'Go to bed, Justin'."
Meanwhile, the 'Baby' hitmaker has hit the headlines recently following his arrest in Miami in January after he was allegedly caught drag racing, which resulted in him being charged with driving under the influence (DUI), driving without a license, and resisting arrest.
Justin could also face felony charges in California after he allegedly egged one of his neighbours' homes, causing $20,000 of damage.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney is currently reviewing the evidence and deciding whether to press charges against the star.

Jack Reynor is engaged.
The 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' star is set to tie the knot with Madeline Mulqueen after he popped the question recently following two years of dating, according to People magazine.
Rumours of a possible engagement began circulating yesterday (11.03.14) when the Irish model was spotted wearing a large sparkler on her ring finger as she worked on a pilot for the TV show 'Bounce' in Dublin.
The 23-year-old actor and Madeline, 22, confirmed their relationship last year at the Irish Film and Television Awards after they struck up a relationship following their flirtatious exchanges on Twitter.
The duo have been inseparable ever since and even travelled to the US together last summer while Jack filmed for the popular film series with Mark Wahlberg.
Madeline said after they had returned from the US: "We had a house in LA. It was good that we were together and experiencing it together."
Meanwhile, Jack has been keen to show off his beau since the beginning of their relationship and even referred to her as the "best girlfriend in the world" last month after she bought him the autobiography of Richard Harris for Valentine's Day.
He wrote on Twitter at the time: "Amazing Valentine's present from the best girlfriend in world."

Kesha has moved to Los Angeles following her stint in rehab.
The 'Timber' hitmaker finished her treatment for an eating disorder at the Timberline Knolls centre earlier this week, and has now decided to make a fresh start by moving from Tennessee to California.
The 27-year-old singer decided to set up home in Los Angeles because she has "a great support system" to whom she "can talk to about anything", according to a pal close to the Nashville star.
Kesha, who was formerly known as Ke$ha, spent two months at the facility near Chicago after admitting she was suffering with bulimia and anorexia, but she's now on the road to recovery.
The source explained to People magazine: "She's doing great. She looks and feels fantastic.
"I think she got what she went [to rehab] for. She's remembered how to love herself. That's what she got in touch with while she was away."
The 'Tik Tok' hitmaker took to her Twitter account after her stint to claim she was feeling happy and healthy.
She tweeted last week: "Happy to be back! Feeling healthy & working on tons of new music, I can't thank my fans enough for all the love & support u have given me. (sic)"
However, the purple-haired beauty recently postponed her upcoming 'Warrior' world tour, which would see her perform in Hammond, Indiana, on March 15 and Green Bay, Wisconsin, on April 13, following doctor's orders to overcome her issues before focusing on her career again.

Shailene Woodley has hit out at the "toxic" 'Twilight' franchise.
The 22-year-old actress has slammed the romantic fantasy films - starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner - because she doesn't think the movies are sending out the right messages to young people.
She told the April edition of Teen Vogue magazine: "'Twilight', I'm sorry, is about a very unhealthy, toxic relationship.
"She falls in love with this guy and the second he leaves her, her life is over and she's going to kill herself!
"What message are we sending to young people? That is not going to help this world evolve."
However, Shailene - who appears in a variety of erotic scenes in 'White Bird in a Blizzard' - is determined to make her roles as believable as possible.
She said previously: "When somebody's doing a sex scene and they're wearing a bra and underwear, that's not how it happens in real life. If I'm going to say yes to a movie where this is necessary, then I'm going to bring truth to that situation."
Meanwhile, the 'Divergent' star recently opened up about her own love life and admitted she doesn't limit herself to one sex when it comes to dating and is instead attracted to people's personalities.
She said previously: "I fall in love with human beings based on who they are, not based on what they do or what sex they are."
