Show business veteran Jerry Lewis wants to smack troubled actress Lindsay Lohan in her mouth.

The funnyman admits he has no tolerance for young celebrities - and he takes aim at Lohan in a new televised rant.

"I'd smack her in the mouth if I saw her. I would smack her in the mouth and be arrested for abusing a woman!, the Daily Express quoted Lewis as telling U.S. TV news show Inside Edition.

"I would say, 'You deserve this and nothing else...' Whack! And then, if she's not satisfied, I'd put her over my knee and spank her and then put her in rehab and that's it."

Lewis insists Lohan is an example of young talent taking everything for granted.

"She doesn't have the right to do to herself what she's doing. She's not hurting my business. What she's doing is hurting herself, and that hurts me. It hurts me for her," he added. (ANI)
