Cheeta - the star of the Tarzan movies in the 1930s - has celebrated turning 75 with a special party.

The chimp, who appeared opposite Johnny Weissmuller in 12 films, is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest chimpanzee.

Most chimps rarely live past 40 in the wild.

Cheeta was born in Liberia in 1932 and also starred in the 1967 film Dr Doolittle with Rex Harrison.

He celebrated his birthday with diet coke and sugar-free cake as he is now diabetic.

Since retiring from the film business Cheeta has been kept by US primate sanctuary owner Dan Westfall, who was given him by an uncle who was a Hollywood animal trainer in the 1930s.

Last year he received the first award of his career - an International Comedy Film Festival of Peniscola prize.
