Tim Allen reveals major Toy Story 5 spoiler he found 'creepy' to record

Tim Allen found a major Toy Story 5 storyline plot point "creepy" at first.

The 73-year-old actor has returned as Buzz Lightyear for the latest film in the beloved Disney Pixar franchise, and in one awkward moment, the space ranger action figure finally reveals his true feelings for Jessie (Joan Cusack), leading to a surprise kiss between the two toys.

He told Us Weekly: "[It was] creepy! When I’m doing [Toy Story], I’m literally an 8-year-old kid.

"That’s what the personality I feel is inside Buzz, is my 11-year-old. So it’s like, ‘Oh God, oh no, I’m doing that?!”

He compared the awkward moment to watching a romance scene while his daughters Kate, 36, and Elizabeth, 17, are in the same room as him.

He quipped: "Every time there’s a kissing scene, everybody gets really quiet in the room. Especially when [Elizabeth was] a little younger.

"And that is exactly how I responded [to Buzz kissing Jessie]. I remember when I first read it, I said, ‘Are you going to show this?’

"It’s like Woody’s bald spot. You kind of move them out of the animated thing, and it gets into some larger dramatic questions. Can they get married? And let’s move on from there.”

However, Allen has come to realise the scene has its place in the movie.

He added: “I loved [it] because it affects everybody in the room. You know, adults, and then kids go, ‘Ew!’ You got that potpourri of responses.”

Meanwhile, Allen - who was 42 when the first Toy Story film dropped in 1995 - recently revealed he needed a voice coach to help him return to Buzz.

He told Entertainment Weekly: "Early on when we did this first radio plug for this one, T5, in a nice way some of the engineers were going, 'Buzz sounds a little old,' and I didn't know how to take that.

"So I got together with a voice coach from New York City Opera [that] they put me with. She said, 'You're not old. Don't get that in your head. You do have to warm up at your age. You can't just get right into [it].'"

Tim noted there is a "very specific modulation" of playing Buzz.

He added: "It doesn't seem very different than the one I'm speaking in, and there were some vocal exercises.

"I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm 900 years old now. And with some vocal exercises that opera singers do, Broadway people — that's a lot of exercise, so I had to learn the process of warming up."
