Tim Allen tells Jimmy Kimmel he 'hates' birthday gift

On Thursday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Kimmel handed Tim Allen an early birthday present after Allen said he wanted a 'real tank' like Jay Leno. Kimmel gave him a book on tanks; after unwrapping it Allen said, 'Oh, look at that!' and later confessed, 'I've got to be honest with you.

I hate these books.' He said he doesn't have time for coffee table books but kept it because it included a few images of tanks he hadn't seen. Allen had claimed the President of Syria had gifted Leno a military vehicle, but it was actually the King of Jordan, Abdullah II.

In May, the former talk show host said Abdullah had his 'royal jet' drop off a military tank, leading Leno to register as an 'arms dealer' because he was 'bringing in heavy equipment.' Allen also spoke about parenthood, saying he 'never really wanted to be a dad' and that raising children was 'a work in progress.' He shares daughter Katherine, 37, with his first wife, Laura Deibel, and daughter Elizabeth, 17, with his current wife, Jane Hajduk, who is 59.
