While chatting about scary movies, Jeff told Chris: "Well, I guess those dinosaur movies are kind of scary. And we're gonna do another one of those around these parts come this summer."

And Jeff confirmed that the original Jurassic Park trio who starred in the 90s dino flicks will team up with the Jurassic World stars for the latest sequel.

"[I'll] be here shooting with Laura Dern and Sam O'Neill and Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard," he said.

Jeff then added: "Colin Trevorrow as the great director is going to be writing and directing it. And I can't wait."

It will be Jeff's fourth Jurassic movie as he was previously in the 1993 original, Jurassic Park, the 1997 sequel, The Lost World, and 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

He plays mathematician Dr Ian Malcolm in the franchise.

Jeff was at Virgin's London Bridge studios while the show's host Chris was chatting to him via Skype in Portugal.

Chris has been presenting the show from his holiday home in the Algarve all week.

The pair discussed Jeff's Halloween plans, with the Hollywood star revealing what his sons, Charlie Ocean and River Joe, dressed up as this year.

"I've got a four year old and a two year old," Jeff explained. "The  older one dressed up like Neil Armstrong. We've been reading him who was the first man on the moon, of course, and he likes to be an astronaut.

He went on: "The younger one thinks he's Charlie Chaplin, so he dressed up as [him] which was very very cute and funny.

"I haven't shown them telephones or iPads or movies...but I have shown them a couple of Charlie Chaplin shorts and a couple of Laurel and Hardy."

Jeff also talked about his new album, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This, and how Miley Cyrus wound up being on the record after he worked with her ex Liam Hemsworth.

Jeff said: "I worked with Liam on that second Independence Day movie. And they were going together and shortly to be married. And she was delightful. And I love him. And they were great, it was great to see them together on a couple of occasions.

"Then when we were putting this album together, we had this idea of having interesting, delicious singers on it. Unexpected from unexpected places. And, you know, I just tried to make contact and somehow did.

"We sent videos back and forth to each other. Then we recorded our part. She recorded her part and we put it all together. I couldn't be more thrilled. She's just spectacular."
