Life just got flipped on its head."All of a sudden everybody recognised me. I can't go out without being recognised. 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 recognised.
