Mel Gibson‘s struggles with the monkey on his back began when he was in the womb.
Mel is still struggling to kick the smokes habit because he says he began smoking in the womb like a crack baby! His mom had smoked when she was pregnant with the future Mad Max star.
"It is a hellish habit to break," Gibson admitted. "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."
A gloomy gus, that Mel.
