Mel Gibson wears earplugs so his baby daughter can't wake him at night.
The 'What Women Want' actor admits he allows three-month-old Lucia's mother Oksana Grigorieva soothe her when she wakes up in the early hours of the morning because he need his sleep.
He told talk show host Jay Leno: "There's shortcuts, I guess. Earplugs, you know!
"I will be honest, I would say that her mother does the lion's share of that work, but you know, I support her."
The Hollywood actor also revealed he has given up smoking, and is finding the loss of his lifetime habit very tough.
He said: "It's been 18 days. It's not funny! I mean, serious, you bury some serious anger.
"Most people do it when they're five, they get their security blanket taken away.
"I did at 54 and I'd been smoking 45 years. There's a lot of anger underneath it."
Talking about why he was giving up cigarettes now, Mel - who is a father of eight - added: "Well, apart from carrying the garbage up to the top of the driveway and wheezing... I have a three-month-old daughter and someday I want to play tennis with her."
