London, Jan 23 - Hollywood star Mel Gibson fears his life is getting boring because he is trying to get healthy and has given up some of his favourite pastimes like smoking.

'I try and eat right but I don't work out much. I quit smoking, so that's something in the right direction. I just don't do anything fun anymore. But that's dying, isn't it?,' contactmusic.com quoted Gibson as saying.

'I think I am a lot better because maturity brings things out. I just wish I had that youthful spring again. But it's a trade-off, right?' he added.

Gibson has seven children with his estranged wife Robyn Moore and daughter Lucia with girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

'I don't think I will ever be able to get over the fact that there is a little life in front of me. So I will see if I can do it better this time,' he said.
