Dustin HoffmanDustin Hoffman has a bathroom named after him - at the college he was kicked out of.

The Rain Man attended the first year of Santa Monica Junior College in California when he was a teen, but his grades weren't good enough for him to return. But nine years ago, the college bosses asked if they could honor him in their new theatre.

He recalls, "I was the one celebrity from Santa Monica College, except for James Dean - and he wasn't available. They asked me and I said, 'But I got kicked out...' and they said, 'You're an alumni.'"

However Hoffman insisted college bosses name the theatre after someone more worthy and opted for a toilet tribute. He adds, "I said, 'Give me a toilet...' because on the stage they rarely have a bathroom in the wings and you get nervous and you can't go to the bathroom, and you have to go underneath and go around."

"I said, 'Give the whole cast a toilet just in the wings before you come on; it's a great thing to do.'"
