'Lincoln' star Daniel Day-Lewis has been described as an outrageous and funny by his co-star Sally Fields.

Fields, 66, said the actor was a bad influence when the pair presented a prize at an award ceremony, reported Contactmusic.

"Daniel is an absolutely hysterically funny rascal. He always wants to do something funny and I'm always going, 'Daniel, we can't do that!'. He's completely outrageous. We were together at the Screen Actors Guild Awards presenting on stage together and he's like,'OK let's do something stupid.' And I'm going,'No I'm trying to be dignified'," she said.

The actress' also opined that Day-Lewis' funny side is often overlooked because of his well-documented method acting.
 

"We came out on the stage, I had to read something but I couldn't see the monitor so I brought out my piece of paper to read from and he took my glasses so I couldn't see, so then I had to take his glasses off too. We were laughing hysterically and being completely silly," she added.
