Actor Aaron Eckhart has revealed he set up a Twitter account at the behest of his agent, but admits he only signed up to get girls.
The 'Olympus Has Fallen' actor recently joined the micro blogging site and he says he looking to improve his dating life with the help of it, reported Daily Star.
"My agent made me join Twitter because there's this insane notion that it all matters for business. They'll tell me so-and-so has this many followers. I go, 'Yeah, but did it get him a job? Are they a better actor?' And they're like, 'No.' Why did I give in? I'm an old man. What do I need Twitter for? Mostly it's just to get chicks," he said.
Quizzed on whether he was desperate enough to field dates on the social network, he responded, "Yes I am. I'm very shy. I know you don't believe it."
The 45-year-old star stays away from dating websites, however, for fear of being recognised.
