Mel Gibson Blames His Mom For Smoking Addiction
Posted by Adam
MEL Gibson says he’s having a “hellish” time trying to quit smoking — and the actor insists his mom is to blame because she smoked while he was in her womb.
“It is a hellish habit to break,” said Gibson. “Your neurons are involved. My mother smoked when I was in her womb. I first had one when I was nine years old and I thought, ‘Yes, I missed this!’ I knew I missed it.
“And 45 years later, after every single artistic decision; every decision I’d ever made was done with a cigarette. To not have that is pretty hectic. It’s worse than crawling the walls, which I did for a while.
“There’s no more fun things left. I just don’t do anything fun anymore; but that’s dying isn’t it? I mean you die in stages. You let things go in pieces. It’s mostly over halfway through.”
Gibson recently revealed he finds it “thrilling” to play miserable characters.
“I’m not good at suffering,” said the 54-year-old. “I scream my lungs out and hate it. But there’s one advantage to it: you become humble and in the end you will find redemption. I admit it’s a very thrilling process for me… I like to deal with it over and over again.”
