He said: "I'm in denial about it but it has changed everything for me. Life just got flipped on its head."

"All of a sudden everybody recognized me. I can't go out without being recognized. Simply put, it's a pain in the a*s."

The 40-year-old star also claims he never became an actor to be famous and has had to change his life drastically to deal with it.

He added to Britain's the Sunday Times Culture magazine: "People say, 'You're an actor, isn't that what you do?'"

"But I don't do it to be recognized. I do it because I get a kick out of doing it."

"I'm not moaning, but I have had to reassess the way I look at the world and the way I live my life."
